Hospice Volunteer

A hospice-trained volunteer provides companionship and support services to terminally ill patients and their families.  The goal for a volunteer should be to provide unconditional acceptance, comfort and dignity for each patient.

Volunteers are an integral part of the Hospice concept of care.  Each volunteer is chosen specifically for each family's needs, and is there to be a friend and a helper.

Hospice of San Angelo offers a 30 hour volunteer training course for those interested in providing patient care.  For more information, contact Toni Pfluger at 658-6524. 

Building Bridges Volunteer

Adults who have a special love for children and a desire to help a child's grieving heart are encouraged to consider becoming a Building Bridges volunteer.  Training classes are offered to teach grief theory, developmental aspects of loss as well as techniques to be used in small groups.  Applications are accepted at any time and the 20 hour training is offered in the early fall.  Volunteers are essential as they are the cornerstone of the Building Bridges program.  Call Inger McManus at 658-6524 for more information.
