Many students, especially in the health care industry, are looking to gain direct patient care volunteer hours for their degree. Hospice is a great fit to make that happen. We can provide students with the opportunity to make a difference in the life of a terminally ill patient. Our Patient Care Volunteer provide companionship and support to patients and their families. Support includes: Friendly visits and conversation, reading to patients, a listening presence, and care giver relief. You will gain hours for your degree goal, as well as having a profound experience that you can gain by joining our Compassus Hospice team.
The mission of Compassus is to honor life and offer hope to individuals facing a life-limiting illness by supporting them with compassion, integrity and excellence.
Description
The Hospice promise is to provide dignity to our patients and families. Hospice care is an aggressive approach to pain and symptom control as well as addressing the emotional and spirtual needs of the dying. Hospice neither hastens nor postpones death. Hospice Compassus seeks to enable patients to carry on an alert, pain-free life and manage other symptoms so their last days may be spent with dignity and quality of life.
