Let Your Light Shine-Be a Cleveland Clinic Hospice Volunteer
One hour a week can change two lives: a person facing life-limiting illness and yours.
Considered the model of quality, compassionate care for people facing a life-limiting illness, hospice focuses on caring, not curing, and involved a team approach that includes volunteers.
As a hospice volunteer, you can help ina variety of ways, including:
* Provide weekly socialization and companionship to patients (1 to 2 hours a week)
* Give the gift of time for a caregiver to take a break for self-care (2 to 3 hours a week)
* Conduct military pinning ceremonies for Veterans (as needed) OR Be a Veteran to Veteran Volunteer
* Professional Services: Legal and Notary Services / Stylist and Nail Services
* Volunteer with your certified therapy dog as part of our Caring Canine program
We look forward to hearing from you!
