Volunteer Services
Volunteers are an integral part of the Hospice care. A volunteer is chosen specifically for each family’s needs, and is there to be a friend and a helper. A hospice trained volunteer provides companionship and support services to terminally ill patients and their families. The goal for a volunteer is to provide unconditional acceptance, comfort and dignity for each patient.
