Good Samaritan Hospice

Good Samaritan Hospice Volunteer Program

Volunteers are always welcome and needed. All volunteers must complete a volunteer application form, per the Hospice Medicare Regulations, and receive training from the Good Samaritan Hospice staff – the amount of training depends upon the area of volunteer interest. Volunteers choose the amount of time they wish to volunteer as well as the geographical areas in which they wish to serve.

Because hospice patients have diverse needs, Good Samaritan Hospice welcomes individuals and groups (church, school, community) with varied skills. Our volunteers have been gardeners, hairstylists, artists, musicians, carpenters, quilters, housekeepers, and writers. Every special skill and talent can be used when you are a hospice volunteer.

Volunteer opportunities include:

• Provide companionship and support to patients
• Give caregivers much needed breaks
• Help in our inpatient units (Wexford and Beaver)
• Run errands, light laundry, housekeeping
• Share prayer or spiritual support
• Cook or bake
• Play music or sing
• Visit with a therapy pet
• Provide massage therapy
• Help patients write or tell their life stories
• Assist staff with administrative tasks and special events
