The Overlook Hospice Team seeks volunteers to visit patients in their homes and in nursing homes in Marion and the surrounding area.

Hospice volunteers provide companionship and support to hospice patients and their families ­– reading to patients, watching movies, playing cards, walking dogs, fixing a meal, gardening, supporting family members, sitting with patients who are actively dying and making bereavement calls.

Overlook also seeks volunteers to provide Reiki, pet therapy, and music therapy.

Full training and ongoing support is provided. The next training begins this month.
