You Can Be a Hospice Patient Care Volunteer
ORGANIZATION: Housecall Providers
Please visit the new page to apply.
Housecall Providers volunteers visit patients who are homebound, disabled or living with advanced illness in the Portland Metro area, providing them with meaningful companionship and much-needed respite for their caregivers. You may read a favorite book, run small errands, walk the dog, or help tidy up their home. Perhaps you will simply offer quiet comfort by sitting with them or holding a hand. No matter what, your presence offers reassurance that they are not alone.
Are you interested in becoming a Housecall Providers Volunteer?
The process is simple! Just contact Volunteer Coordinator Todd Lawrence for more information in ANY of the following ways:
- Email at tlawrence@housecallproviders.org
- Call 971-202-5515
- Volunteer orientations are scheduled one-on-one as needed, and patient care volunteer trainings are scheduled every 10 to 12 weeks. Veterans are particularly encouraged to apply.
Individuals are encouraged to wait a year after the loss of a significant person before serving as a hospice volunteer working with patients, families or caregivers.
