VOLUNTEERS
Enhancing the Quality of Life, for as long as life lasts...
Douglas County VNA and Hospice is a not-for-profit healthcare provider that
originated Hospice care in Douglas County. Since 1982 staff and volunteers have
provided compassionate and expert care to patients and their families coping with an
irreversible illness.
Volunteer in home environments...
Volunteers work alongside Hospice staff members to provide care in Douglas County
and the surrounding areas.
Share Douglas County VNA and Hospice Care with your community...
Volunteers help provide community outreach through a Speakers Bureau bringing an
overview of Hospice's healthcare programs to various civic groups and community
businesses throughout the year.
Join the Douglas County VNA and Hospice Care Team...
Hospice care relies on an interdisciplinary team approach of caregiving. Volunteers
bring comfort to patients and their families through their work in various areas such
as medical care, pastoral care, social work, dietary, the arts, and bereavement.
Reach out to others...
Volunteers interact with patients and family members of all ages - infants, children,
young adults and the elderly. There are volunteer opportunities to comfort, attend to,
share a laugh, reassure, do something creative, treasure a memory, or spend quite
time at a patient's bedside - just being there so a patient never feels alone.
While hospice care is now recognized by major insurance plans, no one is turned
away for lack of money. Contributions and a strong, well-trained and dedicated
volunteer force help defray costs necessary to provide hospice care of the highest
quality. Douglas County VNA and Hospice Care could not provide the level of
hospice care it is known for without its volunteers. Many volunteers support and
enhance hospice services provided by paid staff.
Share your time and talents...
Volunteer work is varied. No task is too big or too small. As patient and families
needs change, so do volunteer opportunities. We make every effort to match your
interests and talents with the needs of our patients and families. Douglas County
VNA and Hospice Care defines the value of volunteerism by the comfort of our
patients and families. All new volunteers attend orientation and training with ongoing
support from our staff and experienced volunteers. We are flexible to meet your
scheduling needs, and we can work with you or your organization for special
one-time volunteer projects such as fund-raising or a holiday event.
Give Back...
Volunteers come specifically to Douglas County VNA and Hospice Care for different
reasons. Some remember a friend or family member who received hospice care and
others want to explore new life experiences. Most volunteers express a desire to
"give back" for a kindness they experienced within their lives. In addition, nearly all
volunteers express that they find their reward in the privilege of serving others.
