![“Being a hospice volunteer has changed my life because it keeps me grounded. Life is so much more enjoyable because I have a better appreciation for everything.”

Our volunteers visit patients in their homes, in facilities, and at our hospice houses. If patient visits are not the right fit, you can volunteer in other ways, such as providing administrative office support or making check-in phone calls to current patients or bereaved family members.
Training will be held via Zoom on Mondays and Wednesdays, 9 – 11 a.m., June 3 - 26 (register by May 24). For more information or to register, please go to www.CareDimensions.org/Volunteers, or email [email protected].
