To provide the best in comprehensive hospice care to the termianlly ill patients and their families. We are committed to patient dignity, quality patient care, common courtesy, quality improvement, responsiveness and education that far exceeds the expectations of our patients, families and the medical community.

Emerald Coast Hospice is a not-for-profit hospice organization who truly believes that every moment matters in the lives of our patients. Our volunteers are an incredible asset to our organization - and ultimately to our patients.

Some volunteers assist with office tasks such as mailing, assembling packets of literature and documents, data entry, phone calls and filing. Others plan, organize and staff special events, work health fairs and expos, recruit other volunteers, make arts and crafts,(scrapbook/stamping) . We have opportunities for volunteers to work directly with patients - including emotional support, companionship, spiritual support and caregiver relief. Volunteers may also provide socialization and support such as reading to patients, playing games, assisting with letter writing and journaling.

Our volunteers help ensure that every moment REALLY does matter.
