Use your gift of compassionate listening and encouragement to provide non-judgmental support for our bereaved family members who have lost a loved one on hospice. Contacts may be by phone or personal visits, so that support can be offered to families in a personalized way. Volunteers are specifically trained on bereavement and assistance is provided on an ongoing basis. Volunteers have a critical contribution to the hospice experience. We do have a screening process which includes an application, background check and in-person training. We work with your schedule, so contact us, and let's make a difference together!
In addition to being a full service hospice we are specially trained and active with Veteran patients and families. I look forward to hearing from you!

Mission Statement
Our Mission is to improve your health and well-being.
Description
Heartland Hospice volunteers offer support, companionship and practical, compassionate help. Some interact directly with patients and families. Others prefer to work behind the scenes in the office setting. As a volunteer, you help determine which tasks you’re best suited to perform. The tasks of volunteers include:
- Helping with office support tasks at the agency
- Running errands for patients and families
- Staying with patients so family members can get a much-needed rest
- Reading, or providing a comforting touch
- Playing or singing soothing music to patients
- Keeping vigil with patients in their final hours
These and other tasks are why hospice volunteers are such an essential part of the Heartland experience.
