AccentCare Hospice of Jackson serves patients and families in and around the Jackson area. We are currently seeking new volunteers to provide a wide variety of services to our patients and their loved ones.
- Direct care volunteers visit with patients wherever they call home to provide companionship and socialization.
- Music companions use the power of music to enhance the quality of our patients ’ lives.
- Spiritual companions share their faith with patients of the same religious background and complement the services of our chaplains.
- Legacy project volunteers assist patients and families with creating meaningful projects to honor the patients’ life.
- Vigil volunteers provide supportive presence at the bedside of patients who are actively dying .

These are just a few of the ways volunteers in our organization support our patients, families, and staff.

Even if you only have a few hours a month to give, we would be honored to have you join our team and support our mission of offering compassionate, personalized hospice care. Training is free and flexible to fit your schedule and you can choose what area you want to serve. Students age 13 and up are encouraged to join us as indirect volunteers or can buddy with another trained volunteer (teen or adult) to make in-person visits to patients in facilities .

We look forward to hearing from you and helping you find ways to share your talents with those at the end of life.
