ORGANIZATION: Gentiva Hospice
Please visit the new page to apply.
Kindred Hospice’s goal is to provide compassionate care to those we serve during the end of life’s journey through our commitment to clinical excellence and uncompromising service. Our hospice volunteers have many reasons for giving their time. Some are looking for a fulfilling way to develop and grow personally. Others have been helped by hospice in their families and want to give back. Still others simply want to help improve the lives of members in their community. Whatever the reason, as a hospice volunteer, you will gain great personal satisfaction from knowing that you have made a difference in another person's life.
Our pet therapy volunteers make supportive visits to patients with their registered therapy dogs. The pet therapy volunteer team must be registered or be willing to become registered through an organization such at Therapy Dog, Inc., Therapy Dog International, AKC, etc.
