Hospice Patient Volunteer

Hospice Patient Volunteer

Constellation Health Services’ Hospice program is looking for volunteers to visit patients who have terminal illnesses. A hospice volunteer is someone who wants to make a difference. Our volunteers help by bringing joy to patients and families, offering companionship and compassionate presence, among many other things. The rewards of hospice volunteering are meaningful and powerful, enriching ourselves as we provide care for others. We provide training that is uplifting, as well as informative, and can be done at your own pace. Make a difference in your community, be part of the hospice team, and have a flexible volunteer schedule. A few hours a week can make a big difference to someone nearing the end of life!

Requirements:

• At least 18 years old.

• Able to commit for one year to our program.

• Able to commit to at least 2 hours per week.

• Ability to listen deeply, interest in and compassion for others, good boundaries and self-care, and meet people where they’re at in energy and tone.

• Online training takes approximately 15 hours and is personally enriching, focusing on personal death awareness and hospice philosophy.

• No close death in the last year
