opportunities for Students     /    Upcoming Hospice volunteer training

Volunteers are an essential part of the hospice team; both in assisting our patients and families and in assisting our staff.

Hospicare & Palliative Care Services is looking for:
• Volunteers to help assist our staff in the Ithaca office answering phones and greeting visitors
• Volunteers to assist patients with advanced illness and supporting their families, especially in Cortland County
• Volunteers to assist our patients in our Residence on King Road in Ithaca

The next volunteer training will be a hybrid of self-paced on-line training modules as well as meeting on Zoom with other attendees to discuss and learn more about hospice. The Zoom meetings are scheduled for 4 evenings; which trainees need to plan on attending all sessions. The dates are: 2/21/23, 2/28/23, 3/7/23, 3/14/23. Each session is from 5:00pm – 8:00pm.

Volunteers are thoroughly trained in the goals and philosophy of hospice and the compassionate care we offer our patients. Volunteers help provide our patients and families with respite, companionship, light housekeeping, assistance with errands and reading aloud, as well as provide support in our 6-bed Residence on King Road in Ithaca. We provide services in both Tompkins and Cortland Counties.

If you are interested in volunteering, please visit our website: Hospicare.org to fill out an application. Once your application is received, the Manager of Volunteer Services, Wendy Yettru, will contact you to set up an interview. If you have any further questions, please contact Wendy Yettru at 607-272-0212.
