Volunteer at Missouri Palliative & Hospice Care

With their unique talents, our Missouri Palliative & Hospice Care volunteers serve as patient and family advocates and help bring dignity and compassion to the end of life. Hospice volunteering is a blessing to the patients, their families and our volunteers often claim for them!

• Activity Volunteers – Provide assistance to patients with activities (i.e., play games, afternoon tea, reading, knitting).
• End-of-Life Volunteers – Trained patient-care volunteers provide support, respite care and companionship in the home or nursing home for patients who are actively dying.
• Direct Patient Care Volunteers – Trained volunteers visit or telephone patients and families at home, in nursing homes, assisted living facilities or inpatient units.
