Are you a new end-of-life doula with no hospice experience? Would you like the opportunity to shadow some of our staff as a volunteer, to get a deeper understanding of hospice?

This is a special opportunity for those who are interested in end-of-life care, but who have no healthcare experience. Spend time with our Lily Hospice staff and experience how hospice works from the inside. Learn from a pro on how to manage many types of patient and family situations. Exact training opportunities will be determine based on volunteer and staff availability and interests.

The ideal candidate is compassionate, reliable, and is currently enrolled in or has completed a comprehensive end-of-life doula training program that covers all aspects of end-of-life care, including advanced directives, compassionate care, self-care, and more. You will need to go through a background check, about four hours of online training, and several hours of in-person training.

Our commitment to you:

  • a flexible schedule at a location that is convenient for you,
  • consistent and accessible support from our hospice staff team,
  • training in working with people in hospice, many of whom live with dementia,
  • ongoing guidance and education to ensure that you are comfortable with each assignment.

Mission Statement

Our mission at Lily Home and Hospice is to treat the whole person - mind, body & spirit - by providing compassionate, person-centered care to those in the final stages of an advanced illness. We strive to meet each individual's specific needs throughout their end of life journey. We involve family and caregivers to make the experience more inclusive rather than isolated; and we emphasize quality of life instead of the duration. It is our belief that each person deserves a peaceful, comfortable and dignified transition.
