Hospice Volunteers needed - No special skills or education required
Volunteer work at Ross Health Care/CIMA Hospice is one of the best jobs anyone can do. It’s not about where you live, how old you are, your educational background, what you have or don’t have. We provide the training; you provide your time. Although it’s sometimes sad, volunteering with hospice is not depressing. Hospice volunteers have jobs that are full of joy and laughter, hope and sharing. Assignments may require a minimal time commitment, such as a short telephone call once a week; or a greater time commitment, such as visiting the patient weekly for a few hours - you tell us what works for you.
This work is deeply meaningful, because the gift of presence is the greatest gift we can give to another. No matter how you help, it’s impossible to overstate how much this support means to the patient and family and to the Hospice team working with them.
I will be happy to discuss your desires and expectations as a Hospice volunteer. Please contact Barbara Thompson today toll free 866-487-0012 or cell 405-323-0695.

About Ross Health Care

328 S 29th Street, Chickasha, OK 73018, US
Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide compassionate care and clinical excellence for our patients and their families. We believe that hospice should neither hasten nor postpone death, but rather provide physical, emotional and spiritual care for the patient and family during the process. We understand dying as a process and therefore provide care and comfort rather than a cure. We believe life is sacred. To accomplish our mission, we use the palliative-care team approach to patient management.
Description
Ross Health Care is a patient oriented end of life healthcare organization. Our hospice goal is to help patients to remain at home during the final days or months of a terminal or severely debilitating illness. The palliative-care team includes physicians, Registered Nurse, Licensed Practical Nurse, Social Worker, Chaplain, Certified Home Health Aides, Volunteers and other services as required.
Volunteers are a very important part of hospice care as they can provide direct assistance to patient and family or administrative support for staff. We assign our volunteers to what suits them best whether it be direct visits with patients or administrative duties in the office (filing, etc). You tell us your availability and we will schedule you accordingly.
