Are you able to share the gift of your time for a few hours each month? Hospice volunteers provide a comforting presence and companionship to patients living with a life-limiting illness. You might listen to a person's story, read a book together, or help them complete a wish. West River Hospice provides orientation training and continuing education opportunities. A background check and health screening are required. Please contact Colleen O'Brien, the volunteer coordinator at cobrien@westriverhospice.com or 781-877-4406
