Being a caregiver to someone at the end of life can be physically and emotionally draining. It’s important for caregivers to take time for themselves; to get of the house, run errands, take a walk or a nap. Gateway Hospice Volunteers offer relief to caregivers by sitting with the patient, providing light household chores or simple meal preparation. Do you have a heart for hospice? We might have the perfect opportunity for you.
Gateway Hospice serves patients and families throughout the Western Pennsylvania Region including Allegheny, Butler, Beaver, Westmoreland and Washington Counties.
We provide training, PPE and other safety measures to keep you safe while visiting patients in their homes.

Mission Statement
"To provide quality end of life carethrough listening and education and responding to the needs of those we serve, our community and team."
Description
Gateway Hospice volunteers are the heart of our organization. Volunteers do a variety of different things that help promote our mission of providing quality end of life care. From providing a listening ear as a companion volunteer, to providing respite for the caregiver to go grocery shopping or to their own medical appointment, to managing special projects in our North Hills office as "behind the scenes" support. Volunteers also can get involved with our bereavement program, making phone calls to bereaved family and friends. Music and art are a powerful way volunteers can connect with our patients, especially those with dementia. Pets are welcomed to pay friendly visits to our patients residing in nursing homes. The possibilities go on and on.
