The holiday season - a time of friends, family, love and hearth. But for some the struggle continues. While families are shopping, decorating and attending to all the demands of the season, our patients remain at home - lonely and often scared of what the future holds.
This year, match your passion with purpose by becoming an APEX Hospice Volunteer.
Volunteers are non-medical companions who provide friendly visits to patients and families at end of life by assisting in socialization, memory support, emotional support or supportive presence.
Choose from program options including:
Companion Volunteers
Bereavement Volunteers
Legacy Volunteers
Love On Leashes Pet Team
Music Companions
We Honor Veterans
Together We Care Phone Call Volunteers
Administrative Support Volunteers
