Access Hospice

Organization Description: 

Access Hospice Care provides palliative care to people that are in the last phases of an incurable disease. Volunteers are a vital part of the team approach used by Access to provide the best possible care to our patients and their families. Volunteers provide many services such as: visiting with patients or families, running errands, light house work or light yard work, reading, singing or playing music for patients, administrative duties like filing, answering phones, or sending cards and letters to families. Volunteers bring comfort and reassurance to our patients and their families at a time when it is most needed.
