Care Initiatives Hospice is seeking companion volunteers with compassion. Volunteers will spend time listening and actively engaging patients of Hospice in conversation, playing games, puzzles, watching tv, going for walks, etc. This is a very rewarding activity as it shares time with individuals as they go through the end-of-life transition. A great way to learn from others and grow from your interactions with patients.
