VOLUNTEERS
Being present is also a way of caring.
We encourage our volunteers to think outside of the box and speak freely on how we can provide comfort and dignity to our patients and their families.
At Medcare Hospice, we provide proper training and support to those who desire to volunteer with our patients and their families.
The volunteers that work directly with patients are intended to provide emotional support not only to the patients, but to the families. Providing respite is a major service that our volunteers can contribute to families that are in this chapter of their life.
