Volunteer Services

Hospice of South Texas provides Volunteer services in order to enhance the quality of care delivered to patients and their families, to maximize program and family resources, and to encourage community participation in the delivery of Hospice care.

Upon completion of an extensive training program, Hospice volunteers provide comfort and companionship as well as practical assistance with family needs. Volunteers also serve as a relief to caregivers, allowing them 'time-out' while the volunteer attends to the patient.


Volunteers serve the program in any needed capacity for which they are trained and willing to serve. Volunteers may have direct interaction with the patient and family, or assist with special projects for the family or the administration staff.

Volunteers may provide assistance with such areas as:

  • Patient / Family Companionship
  • Special Patient Related Projects
  • Administrative Support
  • Bereavement Support
  • Administration Support services
