St. Joseph Hospice Offers Volunteer Training

Bangor, Maine - St. Joseph Hospice is looking for new volunteers to provide non-medical support to Hospice patients and their caregivers. Volunteers are people of all ages, faiths and walks of life who serve two to four hours each week, depending on their availability. Training sessions for new Hospice volunteers begin April 10.

Volunteers offer companionship to Hospice patients by simply talking to them, playing games, reading or playing music. Hospice volunteers also provide respite to patients’ families, so they can run errands or rest. And when a patient passes, volunteers stay in touch with the families to offer grief and bereavement support.
