Companionship
When you have so much to share, there’s so much you can do to help another — from something as simple as whispering a kind word to lending a helping hand to a family. There are many hospice volunteer opportunities with Good Shepherd Hospice that provide support in a variety of areas.

Are you 16 years of age? Are you interested in earning Volunteer Service Hours during your summer break?

Good Shepherd Hospice is looking for some additional help on several week day, evening and weekend shifts to assist with welcoming visitors, escorting them to the patient room, answer phones, and other clerical duties as needed.

Candidates must attend a 9-12 hour training session, commit to having a TB test, and agree to be finger printed.

For those interested in a career in healthcare, this is a wonderful way to interact with physicians, nurses, social workers, and other clinicians who provide service to our patients. Volunteers at Good Shepherd Hospice are part of our care team and take an active role in providing service to our patients and families.

Mission Statement

Good Shepherd Hospice strives to provide quality palliative care and relieve the suffering of those in our communities affected by life-limiting illnesses and end-of-life issues, maintaining the highest ethical standards, so all may live as fully and comfortably as possible.

Description

Hospice care allows those no longer seeking curative treatment to die in comfort and peace, and in control of their surroundings, with supportive care extending to the entire family network. Good Shepherd Hospice provides care to almost half of all those who die in our communities, serving Polk, Highlands and Hardee counties. Care is based on medical need without regard to race, age, ability to pay, creed, gender, lifestyle, or illness. As a non-profit organization, we are able to provide charitable care through generous donations and the special care that our volunteers provide.
