With one hour a week, you can change a life.
Bristol Hospice provides end of life care, and volunteers are a valued and integral part of our team to provide support for our patients.
What do volunteers do? Options are plenty! Most often, volunteers will spend one hour a week visiting with a hospice patient. Our volunteer coordinator will work with you to align your preferences and skills to our numerous volunteer opportunities.
Some examples of typical volunteer duties include:
- Provide companionship for a patient, visting with them wherever they call home.
- Run errands or do light household tasks.
- Help a patient record memories or complete special projects.
- Play music, read aloud, enjoy a sunny day, or watch a movie.
- Be a comforting and supportive presence during the final weeks, days, and hours of life.
- Provide respite time for the patient's caregivers.
- Offer special support to Veteran patients.
- Assist hospice staff in various ways at the Madison office or in the community.
What you can expect: Your volunteer time is flexible and valued! When you're part of the Bristol Volunteer Team, you receive training, support, a network of fellow volunteers and staff, and the knowledge that you have comforted someone on their final journey.
If this sounds like what you are looking for, get in touch! We can't wait to meet you.

About Bristol Hospice Madison

Mission Statement
Bristol Hospice is graciously committed to our mission that all patients and families entrusted to our care will be treated with the highest level of compassion, respect, and quality of care.
Description
Bristol Hospice provides hospice services to meet the physical, psycho-social, and spiritual needs of individuals at the end of life. We focus on an individualized plan of care to provide comfort and maintain a person's quality of life when they are facing a life-limiting illness, disease, or terminal condition.
Volunteers are an important part of the hospice model. Volunteers provide special compassionate presence and support to our patients and families in ways that only a volunteer can. When a volunteer visits a patient, they are visiting the patient because they want to be there. It's not a job or a personal obligation. That is a powerful action for our patients and families!
Bristol Hospice is proud to partner with the National Hospice & Palliative Care Organization and the Dept of Veterans Affairs 'We Honor Veterans' program. Bristol Hospice is dedicated to providing the highest quality of care that addresses the unique needs of Veterans and their families.
