HOSPICE VOLUNTEER
Position Description/Summary
As valued members of the Hospice team, volunteers can make a difference. Volunteers can assist with patient visits in homes and facilities for socialization and companionship, administrative office tasks,and helping out with generalized volunteer events.

Some volunteers have specialized skills to offer during visits such as sharing music, art projects, vigil care, engaging in writing a life review journal, and Reiki which are wonderful ways to spend time with patients and families. Maybe you've had a personal experience with hospice and want to give back. Perhaps you're a student looking to complete service hours.
