The Denver Hospice, founded in 1978, is the region's leading, largest and most trusted nonprofit provider of life-enhancing hospice and palliative care. Our skilled teams are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and care for patients wherever they reside - in their own homes, skilled-care facilities, hospitals or at our own Inpatient Care Center at Lowry.
We are looking for COVID-19 Screener volunteers at our Inpatient Care Center at Lowry. In this role, volunteers serve as the first point of contact to friends and family visitors. Create a warm and welcoming environment by screening visitors for COVID-19 using a screening questionnaire, taking temperatures and walking visitors to patient rooms, if needed. Two-hour shift minimum, any day of the week.
Our centrally located building has 24 private suites with patios. The homelike setting includes amenities like a family dining room, day rooms, a multi-faith chapel, library and hydro-therapy spa. Original artworks by distinguished area artists decorate our common areas and patient rooms. Gardens, walkways and high-tech innovations add to the light-filled ambiance and comforts of our Inpatient Care Center.

The Denver Hospice provides high-quality hospice and palliative care services for patients with advanced illnesses and injuries. Headquartered in metropolitan Denver area, we support patients and families throughout nine Colorado counties.

To help ensure that outcome, The Denver Hospice care model brings together a team of skilled professionals - experts in medicine, nursing, pain management, integrative therapies and psychological and spiritual support - to provide care customized to each individual’s needs and wishes. The patient’s loved ones receive support as well.
We are a not-for-profit organization.

They assisted us in securing initial funding and laying the ground work for us to become what we are today - a nationally-recognized, best-practice model. Our personalized care supports mind, body and spirit, giving our patients and their families control over their lives with dignity, joy and unparalleled experience and support.
