Hospice Volunteer

Become a force for good!

Our lives are not measured by what we get, but by what we give. If you have a natural gift for empathy and want to make a difference, we can help you be a force for good in the lives of those most in need.

At Heartland Hospice, we depend on our volunteers to help us provide support, respect, and care our patients and their families need.

Our Direct Care Volunteers help enrich the lives of our patients by serving as an additional support to patients and families dealing with a terminal illness and end-of-life issues. Support is provided in a variety of ways, including the provision of companionship and socialization to patients, or offering respite to stressed caregivers. Direct Care Volunteers may also make calls to patients and families ensuring they have the supplies they need for the weekend.

Additionally, we have Administrative Volunteers who provide support to office personnel through clerical and administrative functions. An administrative volunteer may assist with answering telephones, filing, making copies, data entry or helping to create admission packets. They might help with compiling and mailing Bereavement letters, sympathy cards or the planning of the Annual Memorial Service.

As a volunteer, you would help us decide which tasks you are comfortable performing.
