Volunteers make a powerful impact and a wonderful difference in people’s lives! PruittHeal­th Hospice is looking for people of vision and empathy who wish to make a difference in their community one person at a time. We are seeking caring, compassion­ate volunteers for our patients and families! As a hospice volunteer, you will receive training and support for your role in helping those with life limiting illness to have a quality of life during their last days. We will provide you with all the tools you need to be the best volunteer you can be!

By being a hospice volunteer, you can gain great personal satisfacti­on from knowing that you have made an impact in another person’s life. As a hospice volunteer you will be given choices as to how much and what types of things you want to do. Volunteers provide companions­hip to patients through conversati­on, reading, music appreciati­on, movie/TV watching, walking or sitting outside to get some fresh air. Volunteers also provide respite to family caregivers, so that they may take a break from their caregiving duties for a couple hours. In addition, we are also looking for individual­s with Certified Pet Therapy companion animals to join our team.

If you have a heart for others and wish to be of service, please contact Aspen Bray at 706-602-9546 or by e-mail at AMBray@pruittheal­th.com. Remember, you can make a difference!
