*Sitting with our patients.
*Getting to know them.
*Comforting them.
*Engaging with our precious patients through conversation, activities they love, reading to them, showing real interest in them, validating them and loving on them.
*Documenting each visit with a patient or in the office.
*Communication with the Volunteer Coordinator
NO experience necessary!
Your mileage is paid at .51 cents a mile!
Things that are a must:
*Passing our background checks
*Passing our drug screen
*Yearly TB tests
*Short orientation to get you up to speed and do the paperwork
(And we can be flexible to help you get everything accomplished, so you are up and running!)
So if you have a heart of compassion for others, please reach out to our Volunteer Coordinator, Winter Parks at (417) 581-4968 or at yparks.oz@preferredhospice.com. She is excited to meet each of you and give great tips for helping our sweet people through their journey!

Our mission is to have a positive impact on the lives of those we serve, inspire through example, and encourage celebration of life. We will assist with emotional peace of mind and both physical and spiritual healing.
Description

Volunteers are essential to the Preferred Hospice Team. Direct Patient Volunteers provide companionship to patients while offering emotional support and comfort.

- Communication is huge with us! Our families depend on us, even as volunteers, so we want to always be sensitive to that and give their loved one better quality of life in any way possible.
