Volunteers are the heart of the Heartland hospice team! We depend on our volunteers to help us provide the extra love and care our clients and their families need at this time in their life.
You may discover talents and skills you didn't know you had....and expand your knowledge and experience. Volunteers have many opportunities to choose from: friendly visits to patients, respite visits, bereavement support, helping office staff with projects, filing & simple data entry, Pet Therapy, PRN (One time only) assignments, Music support, Veteran-to-Veteran...just to name a few. Our greatest need is for friendly visitors.
You may give as little or as much time as your schedule will permit, it is entirely up to you!
Volunteers are fully trained, and are promised full support from our caring, dedicated, professional staff. Volunteers also receive on-going training in the form of in-services that are educational as well as fun. Volunteering affirms and enhances your acquired skills and knowledge...join us!

Mission Statement
The mission of Heartland Hospice is to provide quality hospice care to patients with a limited life expectancy and to support their caregivers. The quality of life for those we serve is enhanced through palliative and specialized supportive care designed to meet the physical, psychosocial, and spiritual needs of the patients and caregivers. Hospice care is provided by an interdisciplinary team utilizing an approach delivered to patients either in their own home or at an extended care facility. We work cooperatively with health care providers and community resources. Heartland Hospice strives to provide care to all who are eligible and need hospice care irrespective of ability to pay. We are affiliated with ProMedica Senior Care.

If a individual has been diagnosed with a terminal illness, and can no longer benefit from a curative treatment program (life expectancy of 6 months or less), Heartland Hospice can help.

We believe that a good relationship with the patient's health care providers is essential to the emotional and physical well-being of our patients and their families. We develop an individualized care plan which we monitor and update regularly, adjusting it to meet the patient's needs. Both patients and family members are included in this decision-making process. Program features:
24-hour, 7-day-a-week availability and support, individually tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient. Care provided under the direction of experienced licensed nursing staff. A caring and comfortable environment.
A variety of accommodations from which to choose. Pain and symptom management.
