Volunteer Program

 Volunteerism is an inherent component of America's society, and  hospice provides a unique opportunity for an individual to contribute to  the comfort of the terminally ill and their families. The growth of  hospice within the past few years and the nature of the hospice patient  and family dictates the need for a large group of active volunteers. Aspire  Hospice and Palliative Care recognizes the value of volunteer support  for the patient and family. We recruit and train volunteers to carry out  defined duties in providing service to patients and families. Aspire  Hospice and Palliative Care provides each volunteer with appropriate  orientation and training that is consistent with acceptable standards of  practice. Volunteers, whether used in administrative or direct patient  care roles, must abide by the policies and procedures of Aspire Hospice and  Palliative Care.
