The value of a hospice volunteer cannot be overstated. Giving their time and compassion to patients and families living with end-of-life care needs, hospice volunteers assist professional staff and physicians in delivering exceptional comfort care to terminally ill patients and their families.
Considered the model for quality compassionate care, hospice provides expert medical care, pain management, and emotional and spiritual support with each patient’s needs and wishes in mind. Many times, hospice volunteers are the key to meeting unique patient and family needs.
