Be A Hospice Volunteer!
For a small amount of time, you can make a BIG difference in someone's life! Our volunteers provide companionship and support for patients and families through music, art conversation, just sitting quietly, or helping with mailings. If you would like to make a profound difference in the lives of hospice patients and families contact Colleen at 857-363-8194 or cobrien@hospiceservicesofma.com for more information

Mission Statement
At Hospice Services of Massachusetts we are committed to making a lasting difference in the lives of individuals diagnosed with a life limiting illness by enabling them and their loved ones to live each day as fully and comfortably as possible. Our team of caring, professional staff and volunteers will pay careful attention to the medical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs of individuals, their families and friends.
Our staff is committed to working closely with the patient, family and caregiver to assist them in understanding the end of life process, identifying what they can expect at the end of life, and empowering them to provide care when our team is not present.
We are a community-based hospice, providing end-of-life comfort care to patients in any setting that is considered home as well as acute care hospital settings.
