"Death is not the ultimate tragedy of life. The ultimate tragedy is depersonalization-dying in an alien and sterile area...separated from the spiritual nourishment that comes from being able to reach out to a loving hand...separated from the desire to experience the things that made life worth living...separated from hope." Norman Cousins Heartland Hospice's goal is that no patient should die alone. We need volunteers to help us transition our patients from life to death by creating a peaceful setting through prayer, music, poetry, candles, and most importantly presence. For more information please email or call the Volunteer Department at 1-800-497-0575.

This team includes the medical director, attending physician, nurses, certified nursing assistants, social workers, spiritual counselors, bereavement counselors and volunteers. Volunteers are the heart of the hospice team. We depend on our hospice volunteers to help us provide the extra love and care our patients and their families need at this time in their life. Volunteers offer support, companionship and practical, compassionate help to this special group of people. Whether it is running errands, staying with the patient so family members can take a break, reading to a patient or holding their hand, the help and support our volunteers give is returned to them in countless ways.
