What is a "hospice volunteer"?
A hospice volunteer is someone who donates their time to their local hospice. There are many different ways to do this. It can be through direct patient care, where you're really interacting with patients or families. Many times, volunteering at a hospice can be helping with the administrative side and paperwork. It can be going in and playing piano for the patients on a Sunday afternoon, or serving tea. One of the things that's great about hospice and volunteering: they want to know what your talents are and how they can utilize them to make a difference in their patients' lives.
