Volunteer Program

Help support families so that patients can stay in the comfort of their own home. You will know that someone else’s day was made better because you volunteered.

Visiting and caring for hospice patients is very rewarding. Hear the stories and wisdom from someone else’s life as they share the obstacles they have overcome and the lessons they have learned. In a busy facility, you will provide undivided attention and open ears.

About Volunteering

Many of our volunteers work directly with patients and families in their homes or nursing facilities. They provide a range of services from companionship and socialization to practical help such as laundry and errands. Simply reading a patient the daily paper or a letter from a loved one can make an impact.

Other volunteers help in the Bethany office with administrative and medical record tasks. Our office volunteers are an integral part of the team. We also offer some at-home and remote options!
