We are currently launching a few new programs and are actively recruiting volunteers for the following projects:

  • Legacy Bears & Pillows: These are precious items made from patients clothing once they have passed. The family and/or caregivers will give their most favorite or memorable items/items of clothing to be used in the making of a bear or pillow. Requires the ability to sew.
  • Welcome Home Lap Blankets: These are knitted or crocheted blankets for the laps of our Veterans. Ability to knit or crochet required. Patriotic themed yarns are used and the details of each soldier are put into the corner of the blanket.

Each of these items help bring comfort and joy to the life of the patients, veterans and the families of our patients. If you would like to be an Uplifter Volunteer and donate your time and skills, we would love to have you as a part of the team!

About Uplift Hospice

Location:

8311 West Sunset Road, Suite 120, Las Vegas, NV 89113, US

Mission Statement

Redefining the hospice journey into one that families are proud to tell for generations to come.

Description

Uplift Hospice is family-owned and operated by a Mother-and-Son team - Jennifer Lawrie and Owen Lawrie. Jennifer is a Registered Nurse who has worked in hospice for over 10 years. Owen’s background is in business and finance. We feel that having both the clinical and business expertise in the ownership team is critical to being an impactful community partner. Jennifer and Owen feel strongly that company culture and employee satisfaction is far too often neglected and forgotten in healthcare more broadly, but especially in hospice. Therefore, every decision Uplift makes is rooted in making sure our employees are happy, excited, and energetic about who they’re working for and what they’re doing every day. This allows our community assurance that we are able to recruit and retain the most talented clinical and administrative staff in the industry. This results in consistency in the clinical team assigned to facilities and patients, seamless interactions for facility staff, patients, and their families, and the overall highest quality of hospice care. We are always overstaffed on the clinical side as quality of care comes first in everything we do. Our response times are second-to-none, our clinical team is highly experienced in hospice, and our community liaisons make the patient and family experience seamless and comforting by following from the hospital to the home and every step in-between.
