Hospice Volunteers
Volunteers at Hospice at HCS are key members of the Hospice team and work in conjunction with hospice nurses, social workers, and spiritual counselors. Volunteers are supervised by our Volunteer Coordinator.
The volunteer’s role as part of the hospice team is an important one. They give freely of their time to be with the patient and family to provide respite for caregivers, emotional support, a listening ear, as well as run errands if needed.
Hospice Volunteer Training Programs
All volunteers participate in an 18-hour training program to assist in understanding the concerns and feelings patients and families experience during the hospice journey. Volunteer trainings are held in three-hour sessions over seven weeks in the spring and fall.
Hospice training is offered at no charge. Class size is limited, and pre-registration is required. Contact events@hcsservices.org or call 603-352-2253 to learn more.
