Mission Statement
It’s not surprising that hospice volunteers consistently describe their experiences as personally rewarding and fulfilling. Helping others as they near the end of their lives is a profoundly moving experience. Spend some time with a hospice patient and create a special space for them-- reading, reviewing life histories, writing a letter to a loved one for them, or just telling stories about the one that got away. As a hospice volunteer you are specially trained to support the patient and family in a variety of ways. For more information on how you can make a difference in the life of a hospice patient, call or email : Heather Bronson Volunteer Coordinator Brookdale Hospice hbronson@brookdale.com (503) 568-2603

Our hospice associates can provide 24-7 on-call support, clinical and skilled care as well as spiritual and emotional counseling.

Our goal is to help your loved one live out their remaining days fully, and with dignity. We handle the care requirements so you can focus on enjoy the precious moments with your loved one.
