At Louisiana Hospice, we are always in need of people who are willing to give their time to provide our patients and staff with quality support. Our team is working to provide patients with excellent care, in hope of giving them a better quality of life. Our volunteers are a vital part of the hospice team!
We need licensed massage therapists to volunteer and provide therapy to our patients who have been diagnosed with a terminal illness and typically have a life expectancy of six months or less. Therapists would receive volunteer training and visit patients either in their home or a nursing facility. Visits would be scheduled around both the therapist and patient's schedule. The Louisiana Hospice Volunteer Coordinator is available to accompany the therapist on visits.
