Volunteering
Our volunteers provide invaluable support to our patients, their families, and to our hospice program. Help is needed working with patients and families as well as non-patient-related activities, such as fundraising/event planning, bereavement support, spiritual care support, community presentations, transportation, office work, or respite care and patient companionship. We invite you to attend our volunteer training.
Volunteer training will prepare you to volunteer for Hospice. Training sessions will help you understand the hospice philosophy, end of life issues and how to work with community members facing terminal illnesses. Please plan on attending all of the training sessions. Twelve hours of training are required to work with hospice patients. For more information or to find out when the next training session is scheduled, please call Laura at 877-882-4500, or email to laura@hospiceoflansing.org.
