Our Rewarding Volunteer Opportunities
Hospice Patient Facing Roles
When you become a hospice volunteer you become part of a very special team that helps to make every day count by bringing joy and enhancing our patient's quality of life. There are many ways to help as a hospice volunteer. We will help you find the right fit for your unique interests, talents and abilities.
Office Support/Administrative
Volunteers do amazing work behind the scenes to help many departments with special projects such as creating patient education folders, helping staff phones, stocking items or assisting with computer projects. We'll help you find the right project work that interests you!
Crafting
Prayer shawls, lap blankets, quilts, baby hats, stuffed toys...the list goes on and on with the many ways our talented volunteers share their gifts with our patients! We welcome any and all ideas of handmade items to lift the spirits of our patients. If you have an idea of something you'd like to share please let us know and we'll work with you to ensure it is safe for the patient's environment.
Pet/Animal Assisted Therapy
Our four-legged friends and their volunteer handlers bring joy and reduce anxiety for patients, visitors and teammates through our animal assisted therapy program. Dogs and at some sites, miniature horses, must be certified for animal assisted (pet) therapy and visit throughout our hospitals. They are beloved by all!
Spiritual Care
Our wonderful spiritual care volunteers partner with our spiritual care team to provide that much needed support for patients. Eucharistic ministers help deliver communion to patients and other volunteers help meet with patients to identify what type of spiritual care is needed so our chaplain team can get those resources for the patient.
Musical Talent Opportunities
Our volunteer musicians visit patients and gathering spaces within our facilities to play music that provides a soothing escape from pain and isolation. Musicians typically play instruments such as piano, flute, harp, or any stringed instrument. Their talent is a gift to all -- our patients, teammates and visitors!
