Volunteers (friendly visitors) needed for Hospice patient companionship

Save to Favorites

Be a Hospice HERO! Make a difference to someone!
Adult volunteers only, please.

Must have reliable transportation.

Volunteers help enrich the lives of our patients by being:

Administrative Volunteers: Provide office support.

Patient Volunteers (currently the greatest need) help in the following ways:

Patient Volunteers DO NOT provide clinical care.

• Provide companionship to patients through a friendly visit. Read, play soothing music, work puzzles, color at bedside, or have a warm conversation. This could mean more than you know.
• Provide brief periods of respite to caregivers.
• Run errands for patients and families.

Veteran patient volunteers needed!

VET to VET connections can be extremely important, especially at the end of a patient’s life. Veteran patients benefit greatly from having a veteran volunteer!

Students: Other opportunities are available for students. (For example, make artwork or cards.)

Covid-19:

Volunteers must be fully vaccinated - 2 initial vaccines. Additional boosters for anyone 50 and up or immuno-compromised OR ProMedica will provide a Vaccination Medical or Religious Exemption form, which must be completed by physician or clergy member.

Training: ProMedica will train all volunteers prior to working in the office or visiting patients. Background screen required prior to on-boarding.
