• Welcome to the Unity Hospice Volunteer Team

  • Hello Volunteer,

    We are excited you have chosen Unity Hospice as a place you would like to volunteer.  Volunteerism is the heart of hospice.  Prior to 1979, in the United States, there were no paid employees.  Everyone who served hospice patients were volunteers.  That is why we consider you the heart of all we do!  You have the ability to make a significant impact on our patients, their families and our team! We consider you an equal part of our team!

    We are grateful!

    You will find your Volunteer Coordinator contact information and the application. Once you have completed filling out the application, hit submit.  The application will be forwarded to your Volunteer Coordinator.

    Thank you again for choosing Unity Hospice as a place to share your time and your talents!

     

    Sincerely,

    Unity Hospice team
