lives, Saint Mary's Hospice of Northern Nevada welcomes volunteers. Hospice volunteers need to complete a training
program and, after training, typically give four hours of their time each week. Hospice volunteers do not provide
medical care; they are an important and welcome part of the team.
Volunteer opportunities within the Hospice Volunteer Program include:
- Providing companionship for Hospice patients and families
- Doing simple tasks for Hospice patients and families
- Providing bereavement support
- Assisting in the Hospice office
