Allina Health Hospice & Palliative Care Seeks Volunteers

Really it’s all about giving your attentive presence to another – you focus on your assigned patient to be a “companion”. We’re looking for people with big hearts, who are good listeners, and okay with just being quiet and sitting with a patient sometimes too. You need - common sense, the ability to keep confidentiality, approx. 1-3 hours per week, and good personal boundaries. Our volunteers repeatedly tell us and others, they’ve gained so much more from this volunteer work than they have ever given. You may offer companionship, help with errands, provide respite, assist with writing/reading and answer other patient and family needs. We are also looking for certified pet therapy, hair stylist and massage therapy volunteers. At end of life your support is greatly appreciated by our staff and those we serve!

Assist patients and loved ones in their own homes or residential care facilities throughout the metro and surrounding communities. Enjoy flexible hours and online training for your convenience, followed by a one time interactive group wrap-up session in St. Paul. Be a part of our mission to serve in 33 counties in Minnesota and western Wisconsin.
