Great opportunity for Pre-Med and Medical Students to provide patient support while gaining knowledge and experience in hospice care. As a Patient Support Volunteer you would provide a terminally ill patient with socialization, companionship and emotional support.
Many Pre-Med and Medical Students, who have volunteered with us, have found the experience to be invaluable and rewarding. They cited the ability to develop their bedside manners, build ongoing patient relationships, understand the death and dying process, and learn to interact with comorbidities such Dementia/Alzheimer's Disease.
Kindred Hospice Virginia Beach is located at 5544 Greenwich Rd Suite 202 Virginia Beach, VA 23462

Mission Statement
A unique benefit, Hospice is a specialized type of care to help you and your loved ones take control of your life and your disease. Hospice care can take place in a variety of settings, and is designed to surround the patient and the family with the physical, emotional and spiritual resources needed to make the most of every moment. Choosing hospice does not mean you are giving up on life. Instead, it means you are focusing on comfort instead of a cure so that a better quality of life can be maintained for as long as possible.
Description
Give your time, your talents and your heart...
Hospice is a medical specialty dedicated to the support and care of persons with limited life expectancies so that they may live as fully and comfortably as possible. The hospice philosophy focuses on maintaining the quality of the patient’s life. With its dedicated team of interdisciplinary health care professionals and volunteers, Kindred Hospice provides caring support for the patient and their family.
Our Volunteer Program
Volunteers are an integral part of the hospice philosophy. Hospice volunteers are there to hold a hand and listen, read or write a letter, run errands or even help out in our office. Volunteers are there to step in when a family member needs a break, and are there for the family and friends after their loved one has passed away. No matter what your skills, talents or motivation, we have the opportunity for you to help.
