A Companion Volunteer Desired - Lewistown
AseraCare Hospice
AseraCare Hospice is currently seeking volunteers to assist patients who face life-shortening illnesses.
Volunteers are needed to provide direct care through visits that may include talking, reading, handholding, and listening. No 'hands on care' just a friendly smile and a willingness to provide social visits to those on our hospice program.
Volunteers are offered training and orientation appropriate to their area of interest.
Be the difference in someone's life today! Sign up to become a hospice volunteer!
