Share your talent! Adventist Health Hospice is seeking musically inclined people to join our Patient Volunteer Team. You don't have to be a professional musician, just capable and comfortable in playing an instrument or singing for our hospice patients and families. Music is a powerful tool in alleviating stress and anxiety in patients facing life limiting illness. It can take a patient down memory lane, bring joy, make them feel a sense of connection and ease their pain. Performing for, or maybe even singing with our patients, is a very special way to offer a heartfelt moment of connection and enjoyment. Please consider joining our compassionate, caring team. The hours are flexible; you may volunteer as little as a couple of hours a month or as many as you like.

What sparks joy for you? If the answer is volunteering, then hospice might be a wonderful place for you to volunteer. Hospice is all about quality of life and making the most of life while it lasts. When hospice first began years and years ago, it was run entirely by volunteers. Volunteers are still an integral part of the hospice team and can be companions and friendly visitors . If one is more comfortable working in an office rather than a home or patient care facility, volunteering doing administrative tasks or making phone calls are also important roles. Pet therapy and music therapy are also great ways to volunteer with patients at the end of their lives, bringing joy and comfort. If you are a beautician, we have many homebound patients for whom your work would be a blessing. Potential candidates will be provided with training so that they will feel confident as a companion volunteer. In addition, they have the ongoing support and help from the Volunteer Coordinator as well as being part of an inter-disciplinary team. Add a new spark of joy in your life by becoming a hospice volunteer!

Are you a Veteran looking for a meaningful experience here at home? We are looking for you! Adventist Health Hospice is seeking Veterans to serve as volunteers to other Veterans who are on our Hospice Program. Today, 1 out of 4 dying Americans are Veterans. Veterans can face unique emotional and physical challenges at the end of their lives. Sometimes another veteran is the only one who can understand. Veteran volunteers have a unique ability to create rapport with and support Veterans who are facing a life-limiting illness. Indeed, when Veterans interact, their common language and experiences can form a strong friendship and the companionship created between these veterans has proven to be profound. Veteran volunteers do not perform any hands-on care but rather, provide comradeship and conversation for fellow Veteran patients. This might include reminiscing, reading, playing cards, or sharing hobbies. It is as individual as you are. Our volunteers work in the field - in patient’s homes, adult family homes, or nursing homes, wherever a patient might call home. Volunteers determine when and how much time they can provide - some a few hours a week, other just a few hours a month. Requirements to volunteer: Valid driver’s license (if driving) Proof of Auto Insurance (if driving) Complete an orientation and training Pass a background check, drug test and TB screen (all provided)
