Volunteers are the "Heart of Hospice" because they are involved in almost everything we do! They are an important component of our patient care team and also help in many other ways. Wuesthoff Hospice & Palliative Care has a number of volunteer opportunities that are likely to appeal to anyone with a big heart and a little time to share:
Patient/Family Care
Transportation
Grief Support
Thrift Shop Volunteers
Office Volunteers
Wuesthoff Hospice Care Center
Teenage Volunteers
Pet Therapy Volunteers
Volunteers choose the area(s) they are most interested in and the amount of time they are willing to contribute to Hospice.
How Can I Become a Hospice Volunteer?

Potential Hospice volunteers attend a free, 21-hour volunteer training course that gives a comprehensive overview of Hospice care and prepares participants to become Hospice volunteers. A portion of this training can be completed as a self-study at home.
We conduct a volunteer training course several times per year in various locations throughout Brevard County. Course topics include:
