Item description

Interim Healthcare Hospice is seeking volunteers to visit with terminally ill patients in their homes, providing companionship, occasional respite, assisting with supportive tasks and providing spiritual support. No experience is necessary. We provide FREE training, on-going continuing education and support to enable a truly rewarding experience.

All applicants are required to submit an application, meet with the Volunteer Coordinator for a brief interview, complete 12 hours of training, commit to at least one year of service, and attend monthly meetings and inservices. We will occasionally conduct community fundraising events that enable us to provide hospice care and services to those without medical insurance.

This is an excellent opportunity for anyone entering the medical and social work field. Anyone age 18 and above is encouraged to apply. We are especially in need of war time veterans, and their surviving spouses.
