Training

Family Hospice  volunteers are thoroughly prepared for their hospice experience. Patient care volunteers participate in 12 hours of initial training and ongoing inservice opportunties.

Who Can Volunteer?

People who are willing to listen and respond to people in a variety of situations make great hospice volunteers. We also work with volunteers who have specialized professional skills. The time commitment for volunteers is flexible and based on individual availability.
