Aspirus Comfort Care and Hospice Services engage volunteers to provide a comforting presence, and emotional/social support to our patients and their families in our Hospice Program. Volunteers are an extremely valuable member of the Hospice team as they form close professional relationships with our patients and their families. As a volunteer, you have the opportunity to help patients in their end-of-life journey live in dignity and peace while helping to offer a pain-free and comfortable environment. No matter how you help, it’s impossible to overstate how much this support means to the patient and family and to the Hospice team working with them.
Hospice House volunteers, like home care volunteers, serve only patients and their family members at the Aspirus Hospice House while working along side of our Hospice team. We are looking for volunteers to bring their existing musical skills and musical training to provide joy, peace, and relaxation to our patients and their family members. Schedules are flexible. Some examples include: guitar, piano, harp, accordion, violin, or even music by use of technology!
Interested candidates may apply directly by visiting our website, www.aspirus.org/volunteers, by selecting the Aspirus Wausau Hospital and Aspirus Comfort Care and Hospice Services link and completing an online application. To request an application by mail, please call 715-847-2424. Please consider joining us...volunteers are the heart of Hospice!
