Volunteer Program

 Serving as valued members of the hospice care team, volunteers enhance the patient and family experience by helping meet specific needs. Volunteers give their time and compassion to patients and families dealing with end-of-life care needs as well as assisting with administrative office needs and bereavement support. Hospice of Virginia relies on our volunteers to assist us in delivering exceptional end-of-life care.
