Hospice volunteering will give you an opportunity to truly make a difference in another's life. Your smile, your listening, your attention, and your compassionate presence will bring the important gift of connection and affirmation to someone in their last phase of life.

You will receive an orientation to hospice concepts as well as training for your patient visit, and you will be well-supported and greatly appreciated by Patients, their families, and the entire hospice team.

Please contact us for more information. We look forward to talking with you!
