Volunteers are an integral part of our hospice program and there are countless ways to volunteer. We have volunteers that visit with patients in order to provide companionship or provide the caregiver much needed respite; create music playlists for those suffering from dementia; light housework; walk the dog; clerical work in the office like scrap booking, sending bereavement mailers, running errands, and celebrating birthdays and anniversaries with patients, just to name a few. Volunteers often connect with patients on a deep, personal level, increasing quality of life. All volunteers complete a training in order to, Understand the hospice philosophy Understand the spiritual, emotional and physical needs of the patients and families. Communicate with patients and families. Currently, on our volunteer team, we have a harpist, flautist, realtor, dog therapist, a dog companion, university students, homemakers and retirees. Some of our volunteers are medical professions students and are here to gain knowledge and experience. Encompass is a preceptor for Idaho State University. Join us for the most fulfilling volunteer work you will ever experience. Shadowing nurses, social workers, and chaplains is part of the training program. There is also a quarterly in-service for continuing education. If you were to ask a hospice volunteer what it is like to give their time to a dying person and their family, they would tell you it is about living life to its fullest. It is an honor to be a part of someone's final stages of this life. It is most rewarding to know that you brought a measure of quality to that life. Join us for the most fulfilling volunteer work you will ever experience. For more information, please contact: Jennifer Maynard Volunteer Coordinator 208-220-2669 Jennifer.Maynard@ehab.com

Enhabit is looking for an event planner. We love to host gatherings for our patients and facility residents. We also give back to our community by raising money for special causes such as the Alzheimer's Association. As a hospice volunteer, you will be given choices as to how much time and what activities you want to do. A few other ways you can help as a hospice volunteer is by playing games, journaling or reading with patients, walking and caring for the family pet, or create a photo album of the patient and their family. Visit patients with your dog, sing and or play an instrument. We also create personalized playlists and enjoy the music with the patient. So much fun and very rewarding. Please contact me if you would like to hear more about this opportunity. Jennifer Maynard 208-220-2669
