At a time when most are afraid to extend a hand to a patient, or when a patient's only human contact is to be poked for a tests, the gift of touch can be an amazing gesture and a reminder for the patient of their own humanity.
If you have this skill and would like to share it with our hospice patients, as a Hospice Volunteer, please reply to this post, requesting an Introductory Packet.
Volunteer Training begins in early 2020. Now is a great time to inquire about becoming part of our Hospice Volunteer Team.

Mission Statement
Our mission is to care, comfort and heal. Hospice volunteers provide companionship and support to people with life-limiting illnesses and their families. They visit patients in private homes and in long-term care facilities and they offer the gift of presence, by listening, acknowledging and affirming the journey ahead.
Description
We seek emotionally mature individuals who demonstrate the personal qualities of empathy, flexibility and the desire to make a difference in another person's life.
