We all have a story to tell, but without your help many of our patients stories may be lost to future generations.
A*Med Community Hospice is seeking photographers, videographers, and scrapbookers to serve our hospice patient by creating a keepsake for their loved ones.
The patients we serve have been given a terminal diagnosis and are choosing to enter hospice care to live their life to its fullest with as much support and comfort as possible. The patients want to be able to enjoy their remaining time with friends and family in their community not fighting a diagnosis.
While you each have a different style and skill set, we generally ask that you spend time with a patient, interviewing, asking questions about their life (I am happy to give you guidance with a set of questions if you like!) and create something for posperity that can be enjoyed by children and grandchildren.
Volunteers travel to our patients, some in personal homes, and others in care facilities. We have patients throughout Austin and the surrounding suburbs, making volunteering convenient wherever you live.
Please feel free to contact Sharon Huffar shuffar@amedhealthcare.com 512-323-6500, directly with any questons, concerns, or if you feel like this is a good fit!
Thanks for your interest!
