Volunteer: Vigil VolunteersAt Heartland, we consider the chance to be involved in the lives of our patients and families both a sacred opportunity and a privilege. The love, respect and care our hospice volunteers provide is vitally important to our patients' overall well-being during challenging times. Vigil Volunteers The role of the Vigil Volunteer is to be with patients in their last hours of living who would otherwise be alone. While they do not assist with direct patient care or transport family members, they provide support to the family and comfort to the patient at the patient’s bedside. This position is set for an "as needed" basis as patients turn to their final hours. Emails and/or calls go out to our Vigil Volunteers about sign-up times in collaboration with the health care team. Volunteers can simply let us know they are unavailable at that time without repercussion. Hospice volunteers say that being intimately involved with another person's death gives them a greater appreciation for life. Some say it makes them more grateful and less susceptible to getting ruffled over life's smaller hassles such as long lines and traffic jams [source: Hospice Volunteer Association].

Volunteer: Patient VisitorsVolunteers needed in various locations across Dane County and surrounding communities!
At Heartland, we consider the chance to be involved in the lives of our patients and families both a sacred opportunity and a privilege. The love, respect and care our hospice volunteers provide is vitally important to our patients' overall well-being during challenging times. We serve patients in a one-hour radius around Madison (Black Earth, Baraboo, Cambridge, Edgerton, and MORE) and visit them wherever they call home! Friendly Visitors Friendly Visitors are our companion volunteers who bring the gift of friendship to our clients. Friendly Visitors visit patients at facilities and their homes--wherever they are located--and we match volunteers to patients located nearest to them. These volunteer-patient matches enhance quality of life through regular visits by offering support, companionship and assistance with non-medical tasks to ensure that patients spend their final days in dignity and comfort. We match volunteers with patients based on interests and location and require a visiting frequency of at LEAST one 60-minute visit per month. The commitment is rather minimal but means the entire world to a person nearing end-of-life. Hours are flexible to work with your schedule.
