Everybody loves a birthday celebration-a statement that rings true from the youngest to the oldest of Hospice
patients. Our newly formed Birthday Club is a special celebration of recognizing each patients’ birthday in a special way. Volunteers will be responsible for deliver of a beautifully packaged, specially-made cupcake, with a helium balloon, and a birthday card signed by our team delivered to our patient on their special day! This will be done for our patients ages 0-21 and over the age of 90. Patients in between those ages volunteers will call and wish them Happy Birthday and mail them a card.
As part of our philosophy of "making today the BEST day" for our patients, it is a nice surprise and our patients and their families love sharing this special moment.
Would you like to bring a smile to a patient on their special day? Volunteer for the Birthday Club!

As a 501c non-profit organization that provides services to all patients regardless of age or ability to pay, we have formed strong working relationships with various long-term care facilities, nursing homes, recreation centers, assisted living facilities, schools, churches, and corporate businesses to provide expert, passionate care in the areas of Hospice Services, Palliative Care, and End of Life Counseling to both patients and their families that suffer from a life-limiting illness.
Our interdisciplinary teams members provide physical, emotional, and spiritual support through a family-centered approach so our patients and their loved ones can enjoy their remaining time together in the setting of their choosing - receiving the up-most quality of care and 24/7 support up until the last moments of life.
Our Capital Caring volunteers serve as integral members of our team, supporting our patients and their families in a variety of different ways as needed, ranging from Patient Care Opportunities that include tasks like traveling to patients’ homes/facilities to provide additional companionship and support to the patient and their family, Administrative opportunities that encompass tasks such as phone support, medical records assistance, mailings/packagings, and data entry, Special Events, Community Outreach, Speaker's Bureau, and Professional Services, among others.
