Hospice Volunteer

Save to Favorites

The Harbor Light Hospice office in Decatur serves patients and families in 16 surrounding counties in various settings, so volunteer commitment is flexible and accommodating to the volunteers' availability. Wherever hospice volunteers serve, they perform essential functions. Without them, hospice organizations would not be able to provide the level care and support which draws so many to volunteer in the first place. Those who volunteer serve both patients and their loved ones by providing much-needed empathy and companionship during the end of life process. Volunteers also contribute by engaging in community outreach activities and raising funds to continue the mission of each hospice care organization. Most volunteers derive immense satisfaction and pride from the knowledge that their work is so important to the lives of patients, their loved ones, and their community.
