Hospice Volunteers help our patients have a moment of normalcy in the midst of what might otherwise be a stressful time. Bristol Hospice of Fall River is currently looking for kind, compassionate individuals that are looking to donate some of their free time to give back to others. We currently are seeking individuals to join our team of dedicated caregivers to provide companionship, offer support to family and caregivers, assist our office team, or participate in community outreach. These contributions are essential to our hospice program. Hospice Volunteers gain great personal satisfaction in knowing that they made an impact in someone's life.
