Volunteering your time with Mountain Valley Hospice & Palliative Care can change your life and the lives of others.
Whether it’s a smile, companionship, reading or using your talents to ease the weight of a day for a patient or family member, hospice volunteers are rewarded with the appreciation of those they serve. We offer a free comprehensive training program each month that includes understanding hospice, symptom management, communication and grief.
All volunteers are expected to make a one-year commitment to volunteer services. However, we hope that once you become a part of the Mountain Valley Hospice family, you will want to stay with us longer.
If you are interested in volunteering, please contact our Volunteer Service Department at 1-888-789-2922.
