Volunteer Application

Volunteers are vital to our mission of providing compassionate care for all, regardless of ability to pay.

They provide a special kind of caring and practical help for our patients and their families or work alongside our staff behind the scenes.

Whether it’s offering a listening ear to patients and families, providing respite care for exhausted caregivers, helping us prepare a large mailing, or sharing personal expertise, the hours our volunteers give can be the most rewarding experience of their lives.

Our volunteers come from all walks of life. Some work during the day, some are retired, and others volunteer while attending school. Whatever your life allows, we work with you to find an opportunity that fits.

While training is required, we make it as easy as possible to get started.

NO. The cost of care is covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance. Our palliative and grief care programs are donor supported and you are not invoiced for care.
