- Sharing simple stories, reflections, or thoughtful messages
- Offering companionship and emotional connection through written words
- Helping reduce feelings of isolation and loneliness
- Bringing comfort, joy, and a sense of being remembered
All correspondence is coordinated through Amedisys Hospice to ensure privacy, safety, and patient preference.
Why Volunteer as a Hospice Pen Pal?
- Make a meaningful impact in a quiet, personal way
- Flexible, remote volunteering—perfect for busy schedules
- Ideal for volunteers who prefer writing over in‑person visits
- Receive free hospice volunteer training and guidance
- Be part of a compassionate, mission‑driven hospice team
✅ Who Is a Good Fit for This Role?
- Compassionate, dependable adults (18+)
- Enjoy writing and thoughtful communication
- Able to maintain confidentiality and appropriate boundaries
- Respectful of diverse cultures, beliefs, and life experiences
- Willing to complete required training, background check, and health screening
No hospice or medical experience is required.
Location-Remote/Virtual
