Hospice Volunteers

Many people come to hospice volunteering after experiencing hospice with family or friends. Others are drawn to it to learn more about the process of death or they see the need to improve how we die and want to be part of the solution.  Fortunately, there are many and varied opportunities to volunteer in end-of-life care in our community because volunteers are a key part of the multidisciplinary team supporting both the patient and family.

Volunteer roles include making phone calls, home or nursing home visits set on your schedule, set hours in an office or hospice house, and many more.  Both direct patient interaction and behind-the-scenes work are available.   Training is an ongoing part of hospice volunteering that instills confidence and opens doors to many new experiences.
