Training for Franciscan Hospice Care Volunteers begins in October

Hospice Care Volunteer – a rewarding opportunity

Franciscan Home Care and Hospice Care is seeking volunteers for its hospice care program. A Hospice Care Volunteer is a rewarding opportunity to journey with someone in the latter portion of his/her life. Franciscan Hospice Care Volunteers provide a variety of services such as visiting patients, reading, sharing stories, praying or being a quiet presence for the patient.

This year’s volunteer program will begin in October. Hospice care volunteers receive 15 hours of training. There is continuing education and support through monthly meetings as well as social events.
