As a Hospice Volunteer you are specially trained to support the patient and family in a variety of ways. Seriously inquiries only, please. **Must be able to pass a drug screen, background check, TB test, and successfully complete orientation. **
For more information on how you can make a difference in the life of a hospice patient, call or email CJ Pharr, Volunteer Coordinator at Brookdale Hospice. 719-268-2582 or cpharr@brookdale.com
