Mission Statement
Affinity Care Hospice's Mission is to provide the terminally ill patient and their loved ones with the support and care they require to live their lives comfortably. Our hospice team strives to enable the patient and family to maintain dignity and quality of life. Our goal is to provide physical, emotional and spiritual comfort. We strive to empower the patient and family by providing them with tools, information and support they need to make informed decisions. We provide ongoing support for family and friends as long as it is needed. We believe that Hospice care should be available to any and all persons with an illness for which there is no cure or for persons who elect not to attempt a cure, resulting in a limited life expectancy.
Description
As a member of Affinity Care Hospice Volunteer Program you will have the unique opportunity to offer care and comfort to terminally ill patients and their families, to contribute to the quality of their lives, and to support patients and families in their bereavement process. These are the goals of our Volunteer Program. As patient visit volunteers we have the privilege of serving as caregivers through companionship, confidants, or silent sentries: we help provide peace of mind for patients and families.
