Verdugo Hospice Care Center Volunteer Program

Save to Favorites

Verdugo Hospice Care Center delivers a program of health care designed to give comfort and support for patients - and their families - when facing terminal illnesses. We provide personalized care in the patient’s own environment, be it their home, nursing home, board and care, or assisted living facility.

Our mission is to provide the terminally ill patient and their loved ones with the support and care they require to live their lives comfortably. Our Hospice team strives to enable the patient and family to maintain dignity and quality of life.

Our volunteers are the heart of Hospice and among its most valuable resources. They can bring companionship to people who are on our program and respite and support to the caregiver and other family members. Volunteers are drawn from every age group and background. All Hospice Volunteers are committed to making a difference in the lives of their neighbors.

Being of service to patients near the end of their lives is a rich and deeply rewarding experience for volunteers and is also excellent clinical experience for those interested in health professions.
