Do you want to make a difference in the lives of patients who are close to dying? Do you have a desire to work with volunteers? Are you a current College student pursuing a health, business, or other related major? Then this internship may be for you!
Atlanta Family Hospice is seeking a motivated, kind-hearted student to work with our team! You will be working directly with the Volunteer Coordinator to complete a variety of tasks such as: recruiting volunteers, community outreach, planning events, retaining volunteers, meeting and getting to know Hospice patients, attending meetings, learning medical terminology, and so much more!
Even though this is an unpaid internship, you will be able to build solid connections with clinical and administrative staff members.
Apply for the fall semester now if you are a current college student! The Volunteer Coordinator will schedule an interview with you within 24-48 hours.

About Atlanta Family Hospice
Location:
5950 Live Oak Parkway, Norcross, GA 30093, US
Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide the highest quality individualized care to patients who face life-limiting illness. We believe the patient and family are one. We extend our support and services to our patients, their families, caregivers, and the communities we serve.
Description
Hospice isn't a place, it is a philosophy and level of extraordinary care. We focus on serving patients at end of life, with a prognosis of six months or less to live, if the disease runs its normal course. Hospice is palliation of pain and system management, not curative focused. We have an interdisciplinary rather than hierarchy approach, to meet the goals and expectations of our patients, as well as their family. Our team consists of Volunteers, nurses, physicians, certified nursing assistants, mastered prepared licensed medical social workers, non-denominational chaplains and spiritual care coordinators, as well as bereavement coordinators and our community partners.
