Thank you for your interest!
We are Hospice of Chattanooga, the only non-profit Hospice in the area with 250+ AMAZING volunteers. We are looking for caring and compassionate volunteers in the Chatsworth area to join our team! We are looking for wonderful volunteers to help out with sitting with patients that are on our service for either companionship or to relieve a caregiver so that they may run errands. The time you give is so precious to us as a team and to our patients, and makes an incredible difference. We also have several other opportunities within our organization. Please contact Anna Grace at anna_jackson@hospiceofchattanooga.org for inquires and questions. Looking forward to hearing from you soon!

Description
What is Hospice?
- Hospice care is about people caring for people with terminal illnesses in a loving, sensitive and personal way that allows patients to spend the final days of their lives with dignity, in their own homes, surrounded by family and friends.
- One fear of the seriously ill is uncontrollable pain. With hospice, medication is available for any patient who has a problem with pain. The goal is to achieve constant control over it, without impairing alertness.
- It recognizes the need of each person to maintain control over his or her own life, as patients and families are included in all decisions related to the care provided.
- Support is provided in the patient's home so the family can remain together in their own familiar environment.
- With the support and symptom management of the hospice team, the patient is usually able to remain at home thoughout the entire illness.
