Heartland Hospice provides an opportunity for caring people to help veterans, particularly ones in Brighton, Michigan, who are terminally ill.
Heartland volunteers bring the gift of friendship to terminally ill patients. Volunteers offer companionship, lend an ear, share experiences and stories, hold a hand, give a needed hug, and offer words of comfort.
Volunteer hours are flexible and opportunities are scheduled according to your availability. Check out: https://www.heartlandhospice.com/find-an-agency/heartland-hospice-services-of-ann-arbor/?contentIdString=14460
Heartland Hospice ProMedica provides quality care to patients with a limited life expectancy, as well as support to their families and caregivers. We enhance the quality of life of those we serve through palliative and specialized supportive care designed to meet the physical, psychosocial, and spiritual needs of the patients and caregivers. Hospice care is provided by using an interdisciplinary approach in delivering care to patients--either in their own homes or extended care facilities--while working cooperatively with other health care providers and other community resources. Heartland Hospice strives to provide care to all who are eligible and need hospice care irrespective of ability to pay.
