Provide support at a critical time in a patient's life!
We are seeking volunteers who are available to be on-call at least 4 hours a month in order to sit with patients during their final hours of life.
As a hospice, all of our patients have been diagnosed with a life expectency of less than 6 months. When a patient reaches the point of being in their final hours of life, our Betty's Brigade volunteers sit with the patient and their family providing support during this critical time to ensure that no patient has to die alone.
An excellent training program prepares volunteers for success.

Mission Statement
Our mission is to meet the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of people who have life-limiting illness. We seek to relieve pain and prevent suffering as well as assist in completion of end-of-life tasks that are important to the patient. We also support the family and other loved ones through education and counseling and through bereavement care.
Description
The volunteers are an essential part of the Kindred Hospice Team! They make a difference in the lives of our hospice patients and families by sharing their time and talents. The volunteers may make friendly visits, read to the patients, listen to their stories and hold a patient's hand for comfort. The volunteer may share a friendly pet, their musical talents or massage therapy to provide companionship and socialization. Volunteers may also share their office skills in an office setting by filing and bereavement mailings. By bringing an open heart and a willingness to learn and grow, the Kindred hospice volunteers make a difference on the lives of others, one person at a time.
