Are you ready to help? Do you need volunteering hours for school?
Amedisys Hospice's volunteering team is looking for open hearted individuals who have at least 4-8 hours per month to share with our patients and their families.
* WHAT DO YOU DO?
Would you like to connect with patients and their families to discuss a life story? How about celebrating a birthday with them or even checking to make sure they have all the supplies they need? Is honoring veterans important to you - it is to us and need veteran volunteers to make this dream a reality. Volunteers even provide critical services such as in-home respite for families and companionship visits. And if you have a certified companionship animal - pet companionship visits.
* WHAT'S REQUIRED?

* CAN I TRY OUT DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES?
Absolutely! We want this experience to be fulfilling for you - so we have a variety of projects to benefit our volunteers so they can help our patients.
