Make your life matter! The best way to do that is to enrich someone else's life.
When you volunteer for Grace Hospice, your life becomes so much more. That is because you are truly changing and enriching the lives of others when they need it the most!
Our volunteers report a change in attitude, view of life, and perspective of others. There is a joy that comes only from allowing yourself to give.
If you have a few extra hours a week to sit with a Grace Hospice patient reading, conversing, doing crafts, watching TV, doing puzzles or just simply talking, please contact us today.
It will be one of the most rewarding things you will ever do.
Training is provided. We encourage volunteers to work with us for at least a year.
Visit our volunteer website at https://www.ghospice.com/volunteer/volunteer-opportunities.html or call the Grace Hospice Volunteer Coordinator at 616.432.2050 to start your journey!

3355 Eagle Park Dr. NE, Suite 102, Grand Rapids, MI 49525, US
Mission Statement
For each employee to treat every patient as their own treasured loved one, providing care that affords a quality of life that outweighs quantity of days, and supports caregivers as their hearts find healing.
Description
Hospice is a philosophy of caring for patients whose medical conditions are not responding to treatment or for those patients who choose not to seek aggressive medical care at the end stage of life. It is a program for patients who are considered terminal and are expected to live six months or less if the disease follows its natural course, although many patients outlive this time frame. The hospice philosophy focuses on comfort care not curative care. The goal of hospice care is for the patient to remain as comfortable and pain-free as possible in their own home or the home of a loved one through the end of life. Hospice care can also be provided in a long-term care facility or an assisted living facility
