Do you have an hour to volunteer? Heart to Heart Hospice has patients that are in need of companionship visits and are looking for smiling faces to visit them. You can get to know patients by working on life review projects, accompanying them to activities, or playing games with them. Many of our patients do not have family in the area and look forward to visitors. Come volunteer and see how rewarding it can be to see our patient's smile.
