What Is A Hospice Volunteer?

A Hospice Volunteer is provided to a patient upon request by the patient, family or caregiver. When a request is made, the Hospice Volunteer Coordinator comes and surveys the patient to determine what they like to do, so that an appropriate Volunteer match can be made. This individual can provide companionship to the patient by reading to them, watching a movie, playing a board game, knitting and more.
