As the world leader in volunteerism we feel a responsibility to unite our broader community, and to use this moment to become stronger.
See below to participate in our Impact Sector survey, access our COVID-19 Resource Hub, and explore our growing directory of COVID-19-specific and virtual volunteering opportunities.
Help a patient and their family in your community! We are looking for compassionate and caring people who are looking to visit our hospice patients. A visit can compromise of holding a hand, reading a book, completing a life story, reminiscing, or providing comfort to the patient, etc.
The patients are either in a nursing home or their own homes. You can visit close to your home with free parking and mileage reimbursement. Our volunteers are important to our team and patients, so we will respect your schedule.
Training is provided- we do require background checks, TB tests, and you must have your transportation. Or if the patients are on a busline, you can visit via bus.
Our mission is to provide premium comfort care to patients, families and caregivers through an interdisciplinary team approach that understands, respects and meets individual needs. Our vision is to become the leading provider of hospice care. We strive to provide our patients, families and caregivers with the highest level of satisfaction through our strong clinical outcomes and innovative approach by maintaining our core values of devotion, honesty, dignity and respect.

We serve patients throughout Southwest PA including Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver, Butler, Indiana, Washington and Westmoreland counties. Our goal is to treat the patient with dignity and respect while making them comfortable. We have a strong team that consists of Grane Hospice support staff and volunteers.
Volunteers are an important part of the team as we provide special physical, emotional, spiritual, and practical needs to both the patient and family. Part of the goal is to provide comfort and dignity while making the patients comfortable. This is achieved in many different ways, some are hands on and some are in the comfort of your home or our office.
