Two Upcoming Volunteer Trainings with Care Initiatives Hospice
As a hospice volunteer, your service is essential to the hospice team. Your time commitment is flexible, and you choose where to serve based on your talents and comfort level.
You can provide the gift of companionship by working side-by-side with professional staff to address patient needs in meaningful ways such as reading, playing music, playing games, or simply listening. Or you can volunteer your time helping our team in the office. Wherever you choose to serve, Care Initiatives Hospice provides the training you need to begin and ongoing support as you serve.
