Mission Statement

Volunteers are literally, the heart of Beacon Hospice, providing a special kind of caring and compassion for our patients and their families. Every day, our volunteers make a difference in the lives of so many people. Whether they offer a listening ear to patients and families, assist with daily household activities for patients, provide grief support, serve as a companion to loved ones or share their personal expertise to help promote hospice care, the time given to Beacon Hospice families by our volunteers can be the most rewarding experiences of their lives. As a volunteer for Beacon Hospice's Patient Care Services, you "do good" every day. It takes a very special, caring person to give of themselves as unselfishly as our Beacon Hospice patient care volunteers.
