Volunteers Needed for Hospice of the Western Reserve
Touch a life...Become a Hospice Volunteer.
Hospice is a philosophy of care, not a place. We care for our patients wherever they call home. As a vital part of our team volunteers come form all walks of life, and have a variety of skills, talents and abilities.
Opportunities to serve are diverse: visit patients and families to provide companionship, socialization, and comfort, help with legacy work, transportation, light housework, meal preparation, run errands, make phone calls, help with clerical work, attend health fairs, make a presentation. Volunteers with specialized professional qualifications and training are also needed: attorneys, licensed hair dressers, massotherapists, pet therapy dogs and their handlers.
Volunteer education is held frequently throughout northern Ohio. Teen and volunteers not having patient contact attend only four hours of training while most other volunteers attend all 16 hours. Pre-registration is required.
