Vigil/EMC Volunteers Needed for Hospice!
ORGANIZATION: Crossroads Hospice and Palliative Care
Please visit the new page to apply.
Crossroads Hospice offers vigil service called Even More Care (EMC) for patients and families if they would like the extra assistance when the time comes. Some things that an EMC volunteer might do is:
- Provide a calming presence: they can sit, hold the patient's hand, dim the lights, or play music
- Offer emotional support: they can speak or read to the patient, and ease their fears and anxieties
- Help with comfort measures: they can help the patient feel safe and secure, make sure supplies are available for comfort measures and assist with minimal comfort measures if comfortable
- Give family respite: they can allow family members to rest by sitting vigil overnight or whenever the family needs a break
- Support caregivers: they can give caregivers peach of mind that someone is present
Hospice EMC/Vigil volunteers must first complete training and serve as patient/family support volunteers.

It helps us connect with our communities, share our knowledge, be accessible 24/7, innovate, lead, and raise the bar.
