Agency: Suncrest Hospice

Suncrest Hospice is looking for Holiday volunteers to join the Suncrest Team as we provide excellent care and support to our Hospice patients and their families in their home or facility.  The philosophy of hospice care is to provide comfort and the highest quality of life that one can achieve at the end of life. Through an interdisciplinary team: nurse, home health aide, social worker, Chaplin, music therapist, massage therapists and volunteers, we help the patient and family walk through their journey. Whether you are needing community service hours or wanting to gain some experience in the medical field or share your musical talent, we have an amazing Volunteer program to educate about Hospice volunteering. We need compassionate volunteers to assist us in our facilities while family members are out of town celebrating the holidays. No one wants to alone on the holidays and you can help with your time! 

We would love for you to be a part of our team! Volunteers play a critical role in hospice and I would love the opportunity to chat with you over the phone about our volunteer program. If you are 16 years or older, please reach out to me M-F 9-4p at 402-509-7655, You can also email me at TRodriguez@suncrestcare.com. I look forward to speaking with you!

Volunteer: Compassionate Volunteers with Hospice

Suncrest Hospice is looking for volunteers to join the Suncrest Team as we provide excellent care and support to our Hospice patients and their families in their home or facility.  The philosophy of hospice care is to provide comfort and the highest quality of life that one can achieve at the end of life. Through an interdisciplinary team: nurse, home health aide, social worker, Chaplin, music therapist, massage therapists and volunteers, we help the patient and family walk through their journey. Whether you are needing community service hours or wanting to gain some experience in the medical field or share your musical talent, we have an amazing Volunteer program. We provide Hospice education on our Google Classroom and we are only needing 4 hours in a month which you can pick and choose the dates and times you go!
