Hospice volunteers -- Central & northern Wisconsin
We are looking for caring individuals to serve as volunteers in our

a comprehensive 16-hour training led by members of the hospice team. If

Home/Zilber Family Hospice volunteers
Other volunteers serve as part of the
hospice
team. They share their time and compassion with patients and families who
are going through an extremely difficult time. They do whatever the family
needs – from reading to a patient or running errands to providing respite
care while a caregiver takes a break. They generally spend 2-4 hours a
week with their patient, although this depends on each individual
situation. Training is provided.
