Kaiser Permanente Washington's Hospice Program seeks volunteers to offer empathetic support and services to hospice patients and their families. We currently have a high need for volunteers in North King and Snohomish counties.
Volunteers are indispensable members of our hospice teams by being there with the dying and their families - most importantly - but also serving in specific that include:
- Kind and compassionate presence at the bedside
- Visiting, reading aloud, listening to music, crafting, etc.
- Staying with a patient while caregiver rests, runs errands, recharges
- Running errands, grocery shopping, assisting patients with small tasks
- Legacy video filming and editing, and/or other types of legacy projects
Volunteers must be 18 years or older, be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 or complete medical or religious exemption process, and complete a screening and training program prior to performing services. Volunteers do not need to be Kaiser Permanente Washington (formerly Group Health) members.
