Patient and Family Visitor

Open Timeslots

About

Are you wanting to make a meaningful difference in your local community? Give the gift of time! Visit with our patients and their families for 2-4 hours a month. Our patients live in their own homes and assisted living communities all over town and close to where you are! We are looking for volunteers to visit patients and their families while offering companionship during a visit. Volunteers sit and talk with their patients, listen to music together, do art projects, play board games, read, simply share stories and look at family photos. If you would like to make a difference in someone's life, hospice volunteering might be for you!

No medical skills or experience are required, our expert clinicians provide all medical care. Orientation to hospice, family dynamics, and grief is provided before volunteers begin visiting patients. A background check, TB test, and drug screening are part of our orientation process.

I would love to be a part of this! I am a patient care technician at Methodist hospital, and I feel that this is a huge part of human health and psychology that is so important! Let me know if you are still looking for people :)
