Become
an Arbor Hospice Volunteer!
Quality
of care is one of the cornerstones of our mission - a mission that could
not be accomplished without the many 'helping hands' of our volunteers.
Arbor Hospice has a dedicated volunteer force of over
300 caring individuals and we offer opportunities in just about every
area you can imagine. Whether you can give four hours a month or four
hours a day, we can use your help!
All of our volunteers receive extensive training in providing comfort
and support to families facing end-of-life issues. Topics covered during
volunteer training include hospice and palliative care, ways to improve
communication, active listening, identifying and respecting cultural differences,
spirituality, and grief and the healing process.
Without
the contributions of each and every one of the volunteers, we would not
be able to provide the level of care and comfort to our patients for which
we are renown.
