Volunteers are literally, the heart of Hospice of Michigan,
providing a special kind of caring and compassion for our patients and their
families. Every day, more than 950 of our volunteers across the state make a
difference in the lives of so many people. Whether it's offering a listening ear
to patients and families, assisting with daily household activities for
patients, providing grief support, companioning to loved ones or sharing their
personal expertise to help promote hospice care, the hours given to Hospice of
Michigan families by our volunteers can be the most rewarding experiences of
their lives.
Volunteers fill many important roles at Hospice of Michigan,
including patient care,
grief support,
community outreach
and office administration.
We have a junior volunteer
program as well.
Hospice of Michigan's training sessions are offered throughout the
state. For those who have experienced a loss, Hospice of Michigan encourages a waiting period of one year prior to becoming a volunteer, to allow for
processing of grief.
The next clinical and non-clinical volunteer trainings will take place at these times and locations around the state. In most instances, volunteer positions are available for office assistance and in direct patient care.
