Hospice house patients and families need your help!

Save to Favorites

BJC Hospice is seeking compassionate individuals to support terminally ill patients and their families at our hospice house, Evelyn’s House, in Creve Coeur. This is a great opportunity to do meaningful work that has a significant impact, all while setting your own schedule and choosing your own shifts.

Volunteers will be needed for:

• Greeting visitors
• Companionship visits
• Pet therapy
• Visits to military veterans by military veterans (We Honor Veterans)
• Creating life review projects (Lumina)
• Support during a patient’s final hours (PasSage)
• Complimentary therapies including massage therapy, Healing Touch and Reiki
• Serving on an "on-call" basis

Most shifts are 3 to 4 hours long. Volunteers will attend a general orientation and a house-specific orientation, and will receive ongoing support from the volunteer coordinator and hospice staff. You will not be providing hands-on care. Additional hospice education and opportunities to connect with other volunteers take place throughout the year.

If you have a heart for helping patients at the end of life, call Volunteer Coordinator Laura Matson at 314-996-8215 or visit http://www.bjchospice.org/Volunteers.aspx.
