BECOME A SILVERADO HOSPICE VOLUNTEER!
At Silverado Hospice, we hold sacred the end-of-life passage that is journeyed by our patients and their loved ones. Volunteers play an integral part in how we compassionately meet their needs.
As a Hospice Volunteer you will visit patients in a community (facility) or at home. You will have the opportunity to offer support for all non-medical needs such as providing companionship and socialization. Are you willing to be a compassionate witness to those who are among the most vulnerable in our world, to hold their hands, to listen to their life stories? If you have up to 2 hours during the week (no evenings) and are at least 18 years old, please respond to this posting and begin your journey with Silverado Hospice as a Volunteer today!
If interested in this wonderful opportunity, please call 847-565-2355.

Mission Statement
It is our mission to affirm the cycle of life by enhancing the quality of living for those at the end of life. The Silverado standard is to care compassionately for patients and families and to empower those we serve to have quality of life options that afford them comfort and dignity.
Description
Silverado Hospice honors the value of each life by empowering the patient and family to make supported choices in end-of-life care, enhancing comfort, relieving suffering and supporting effective grieving. We believe that Hospice patients have the right to continue life to the fullest extent possible according to their circumstances, and in fostering opportunities for growth and fulfillment. We further recognize patients and families decision-making rights in relation to continuing medical treatments and their right to withdraw treatment whose benefits are outweighed by their burdens. Silverado believes in equal opportunity and non-discrimination for our clients, our associates, and our community.
