Harbor Hospice – Volunteer Opportunity

There are times when caring for a loved one at home is simply not possible. When symptoms cannot be managed at home, or when families are having difficulty coping, hospice care can provide a warm, homelike setting for that special loved one. Harbor Hospice is dedicated to providing care and comfort to terminally ill patients and their families. In addition, they are committed to educating the community and increasing awareness of the hospice concept of care among medical professionals, lay persons, clergy and those in need of a compassionate approach of care.
