Our Vigil Volunteers have a very unique opportunity to bring comfort to patients and their families. The vigil volunteer goes and spends time with patients and their families during a patient's last hours of life. This is a unique chance to bring peace and comfort to those who may feel as though they are in their darkest hour. This role is especially meaningful for patient's and their families. If you want to support families in their hours of need, please contact me. We look forward to hearing from you.

Mission Statement
Our mission is to honor life and offer compassion to individuals and their caregivers when facing a life-limiting illness.
Description
We see each individual as more than a patient. Our skilled professionals and volunteers design an all-encompassing program, customized to each patient that addresses not only the physical needs but also the emotional and spiritual needs of the patient and family. Counseling and education about disease management and the dying process are provided to the family unit in conjunction with patient care.
Our hospice philosophy includes an individualized course of treatment based on the patient’s wishes, the family’s needs and the complex array of medical, emotional and social issues which accompany a terminal diagnosis. Our service offerings include access to a network of community resources specifically arranged to provide comfort, reduce anxiety and allow quality time to be spent with the loved one.
