SouthernCare Hospice is looking for musician/music support volunteers (ages 18 and up) to help provide music/relaxation support to our patients and veterans (with life limiting conditions) and their caregivers. How you serve and how often is completely up to you! Here are a few examples of how our Musician/Music Volunteers serve:

• Provide companionship and emotional support to hospice patients and their caregivers
• Assist in identifying patient's/Veteran's favorite music to listen to
• Provide musical stimulation for Alzheimer's/Dementia patients/veterans and their caregivers
• Provide music for relaxation for hospice patients/veterans in their home as needed
• Perform for large groups of elderly residents/hospice patients/veterans of local nursing homes and assisted living facilities (within a 40-mile radius of Hattiesburg, MS)

You choose how you want to serve and how often. We also accept groups of people that would like to volunteer. What we are looking for:

WE ARE accepting volunteers amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Our patients and families need help now more than ever during these uncertain times. Our volunteers are here to help meet non-medical needs of our patients, their families, and our SouthernCare staff. We are called to be a light in the darkness.

NO medical experience is needed as volunteers DO NOT perform nursing duties or dispense medication. Please leave us your NAME, PHONE NUMBER and EMAIL ADDRESS so we can get in touch with you as soon as possible to discuss the benefits of being a SouthernCare volunteer!
