Kansas City Northland - HOSPICE VOLUNTEERS WANTED AND NEEDED - Visiting Nurse Association, an Affiliate of Midland Care Connection, is seeking compassionate hospice volunteers to work in various volunteer capacities in any of the NORTHLAND Kansas City Metro Counties we serve.
If you are interested in making a difference in someone's life by simply being there for them, this might be the perfect opportunity for you! Some examples of hospice volunteer work includes the following:
· providing companionship to patients while family members run errands
· assisting our patients with small tasks around the house
· share stories or read to the patient
· assisting in the office with mailings and putting together marketing packets
The VNA hospice volunteer can assist with so many daily activities [errands to yardwork], provide relief for caregivers, but the most important role of our volunteer is to act as a loving, compassionate friend who comes to visit and play cards or watch TV, listen to concerns, chats over a cup of coffee or tea, and welcomes the friendship of the patient, caregivers, and family members.
Visiting Nurse Association serves a total 17 counties in the Kansas City Metro. VNA will provide training and work with you to find the right fit and schedule that works for you!

Mission Statement
The Visiting Nurse Association (VNA) is a non-profit serving individual in the Kansas City area. Our mission has remained the same since its inception in 1891 - providing quality home health and hospice care to individuals regardless of ability to pay. As a division of VNA, Hospice Care of VNA is dedicated to ensuring comfort, dignity, and quality of life for all our patients wherever they call home.
Description
Established in 1891, Visiting Nurse Association is the home of the oldest home health care agency (VNA Home Health) in the Kansas City area and the sixth oldest in the United States. Over the years, VNA has expanded the services provided and areas of services to reach more people. Hospice Care of VNA was reintroduced to the community in 2020. Our long-lasting legacy comes from our belief that people not only need someone to care for them, they also need someone to care about them. That is what we do at VNA and our patients say it is one of the many things that set us apart.
