Event Description:
Hospice of Southern Illinois’ volunteers work side-by-side with the professional staff to provide patient and family
support. Our volunteer programs are as varied as the needs of the patients and families. As a friend who pledges to be with them through the uncertainties of the weeks ahead, hospice volunteers offer patients and families a listening ear, a hand to hold, and the presence of a caring heart. Additionally, our veteran hospice volunteers offer specific veteran-to-veteran support. Volunteers can provide this support at a nursing home, assisted living community, hospital or personal residence and receive specialized training before helping patients and families. Also, volunteers assist administrative staff at health fairs, in parades, and with community education.
