Volunteers are special and needed members of our hospice circle of care. Volunteers support the mission, vision and philosophy of hospice. This program is designed to utilize the energies, talents and time of interested persons to benefit our patients, their families and Peace Hospice. Volunteers set their own levels of commitment based on their available time and our patients’ needs.
Hospice volunteers may choose to provide either direct or indirect care upon the successful completion of our volunteer training program which is offered at your convenience.

• Reading, playing music, walking, journaling, watching movies with the patient, looking at old photos with the patient.
• Providing respite so family members can take their much-needed break.
