Companionship & Conversation
Spend time with patients through conversation, listening, reading, or simply sharing a quiet moment together.
HOSPICE VOLUNTEERING
A little time can
mean a great deal.
Sometimes, the most meaningful thing you can offer someone is your time.
At Aspen Hospice, volunteers provide companionship, kindness, and practical support to patients and families during an important season of life.
Whether it's sharing a conversation, enjoying a familiar activity, or helping behind the scenes, volunteers contribute to the personal care and attention that make hospice special.
Become a VolunteerTHE VALUE OF YOUR TIME
The difference is often
in the little things.
Hospice care involves much more than managing medical needs.
For patients and families, ordinary moments of companionship and connection can be especially meaningful.
Volunteers complement the work of Aspen's professional hospice teams by offering time, attention, and support in ways that reflect each patient's individual needs and preferences.
A conversation, a familiar story, or simply having someone nearby can make an ordinary day feel a little more personal.
Volunteers also help support the people and communities surrounding hospice care.
WAYS TO GET INVOLVED
There's more than
one way to help.
People bring different interests, abilities, and experiences to volunteering.
Aspen Hospice offers opportunities for individuals to contribute in ways that support patients, families, and local care teams.
Depending on the needs of your local hospice program, volunteer opportunities may include:
Activities & Personal Interests

Administrative & Community Support
