About Hospice

Hospice is an extensive Program for anyone with a diagnosis or decline in health that could limit their life expectancy to 6 months or less if the disease/decline runs its normal course.

Our Mission

Making a difference by providing care from our heart to enhance the quality of life for those with life-limiting illnesses and their loved ones.

Our Volunteer Program

At Heart to Heart Hospice our volunteers are a vital part of our hospice team. Together we can help improve the quality of life for hospice patients.

Volunteers provide service to patients in a number of different ways. Depending on your interests, skills, talents, and the amount of time you have, there are a variety of ways that you can help.

Some of the ways our volunteers make a difference in the lives of patients are through......

• Respite/Break for the caregiver
• Companionship
• Activities
• Pet Therapy
• Clerical/Office Work

All volunteers receive orientation and training to ensure they feel comfortable with their tasks. Volunteers are required to be fingerprinted, have a background checks, and receive the two-step TB tests. There is no cost involved to the volunteer. However, we ask that the volunteer commit to being available one time a week. Volunteers must be 18 or older and must provide their own transportation.
