Hospice Volunteer - Heartland HospiceAt — Heartland Hospice
You will be giving back to the community as well as completing your college requirements.
You will provide company and moral, spiritual (if you choose to), and emotional support by reading, talking, playing games, listening to their favorite music, or watching TV. People who have volunteered with Heartland Hospice share that they have been rewarded more than they were able to give.
You will get attached to the patients you visit and it will be an honor to have been part of their journey. Consider giving a little bit of your time and have your life changed forever!
Looking for those interested in social work, counseling, psychology, and working with older adults.

Training will take a day and a half. A lot of the information will be given to you to read on your own time and the rest will be provided in our Monterey office.
You will be accompanied on your first visit with every patient to ensure there is a match and there is information provided as it becomes available. Meetings are organized to talk about the patients and any concerns that may arise as time goes by. Also, luncheons are provided and encouraged to attend to meet and greet other volunteers.
Some of our patients are in medical facilities and masks might be required. We ask that students are careful and aware of their surroundings.
Students may be working unsupervised with minor or other vulnerable populations. Most of our patients are vulnerable and need to be treated with care and compassion.
Interested students can contact Angie Ortega-Antillon, Volunteer Coordinator, at angeles.ortegaantillon@promedica.org or 831-392-6756.
A background check, TB test, and HEP C vaccination proof is required.
You will essentially become an employee of Heartland Hospice and therefore go though the same steps as a paid employee.
