Make a difference for someone by volunteering with ProMedica Hospice!
Our volunteers offer support, companionship and practical, compassionate help. Some interact directly with patients and families. Others prefer to work behind the scenes in the office setting. As a volunteer, you help determine which tasks you’re best suited to perform.
THE TASKS OF VOLUNTEERS MAY INCLUDE:
- Helping with office support tasks at the agency
- Running errands for patients and families
- Staying with patients so family members can get a much-needed rest
- Reading, or providing a comforting touch
- Playing or singing soothing music to patients
- Keeping vigil with patients in their final hours
- Providing a friendly visit to lift a patient's spirits
- Providing special veteran volunteer support to patients who are veterans
* We suggest volunteers wait a minimum of one year following the death of a loved one to volunteer. This allows adequate time to make appropriate adjustments after a significant personal loss.
* Volunteers must have reliable transportation.
Veteran patient volunteers needed! VET to VET connections are extremely important, especially at the end of a patient’s life. Veteran patients benefit greatly from having a veteran volunteer!
If this appeals to you, please contact our office! These are unpaid, yet priceless volunteer positions.
To volunteer, please contact the Volunteer Coordinator, 478-477-0101
