Athena Hospice is currently looking for volunteers to join our caring and dedicated team. If you are looking for a rewarding volunteer opportunity in a supportive and friendly environment, then this may be the opportunity for you. Volunteers are needed for caregiver relief, companionship, or just bed side presence.
Athena Hospice is not about giving up. It is about HOPE for those who are facing life limiting illness. HOPE of living their lives free of pain without fear and in the company of family and friends. Volunteers may assist the patient with companionship, caregiver relief, listening and complementary therapies. The opportunities are endless. We provide all the training needed and additional training in specific areas of interest.
Please open your heart to someone who is facing a life limiting illness. Contact : G Marie Rufini 860 422 0946 grufini@athenahhc.com
