Bereavement Volunteers are called and trained to provide outreach to caregivers and family members who have recently experienced the loss of their loved one through death. Outreach involves making phone calls and/or supportive visits to those in grief, whom our hospice follows for at least thirteen months after their loss has occurred. Working closely with the Bereavement Coordinator, volunteers can also assist with a variety of other tasks and projects, including assembly of bereavement mailings and designing and facilitating major events, such as our annual Grief Camp & Celebration of Life Ceremony, and participating in community-based programs, such as grief & loss support groups and workshops.
These opportunities are available throughout Montgomery & Prince Georges' Counties.

Mission Statement
Heartland Hospice is a growth company dedicated to providing compassionate, high quality home health care. We will achieve this by recruiting professional, caring staff, encouraging our clients to become active participants in their care, and by creating an atmosphere of supportive leadership. We value strong, mutually beneficial relationships with our referral sources, employees, clients and their families, and the community at large.
Description
Our volunteer program caters to the needs of our Hospice patients. Hospice is a special kind of care designed to provide comfort care as well as spiritual and emotional support for people in the final phase of a terminal illness. Hospice focuses on enhancing the quality of life, rather than length of life. It neither hastens nor postpones death; it affirms life and regards dying as a normal process. The hospice program stresses human values that go beyond the physical needs of the patient. Hospice ensures that patients spend their final days in dignity and comfort.
