Phone Calls for Hospice Patients

Save to Favorites

Amedisys Hospice of Southwestern Pennsylvania is looking for compassionate individuals to volunteer their time to support patients who are receiving hospice services from our staff. Benefits of being a volunteer are that you get to join an outstanding team and you get to interact with some amazing people.

As an Amedisys volunteer, you will be helping patients and their families/caregivers through an emotional time in their lives. Telephone calls can be made for various reasons. Weekly tuck-in calls ensure patients have the supplies and medications in place for the weekend. Companionship calls make patients and caregivers feel less lonely. Bereavement calls provide support to people who have recently lost loved ones.

Our volunteers are an integral part of the Amedisys team. This volunteer opportunity can meet your community service needs (flexible), completed at your convenience. Calls can be made any day of the week between 9:00 am and 8:30 pm.

Amedisys has patients all over the country; tuck-in calls can be made at your convenience from any location as long as patient privacy and HIPPA protocols are observed.
