Looking to Make a Difference? Our Volunteers Provide Much Needed Support

Lise sets out treats at the care center

Suncoast Hospice has many volunteer opportunities available including evenings and weekends at our three Suncoast Hospice Care Centers. These volunteers play a vital role providing many types of support.

Some volunteers enjoy working directly with our patients and families. Their support may include making visits with patients and families, making phone calls to families, providing companionship to patients and helping the care team staff with various patient care needs.

Other volunteers help with answering phones, office projects, decorating or other activities. There are also some late night positions to answer phones and doors and sit with patients.

Lise Fields works a full–time job weekdays at Ronald McDonald House and volunteers on Saturdays at our Suncoast Hospice Care Center South Pinellas in St. Petersburg. “I love it here at the care center. This is an awesome place to volunteer. I’ve always wanted to volunteer for hospice,” Lise said.

Lise visits with patients and families and pitches in cleaning the family room and kitchen and putting out food and goodies.

“It’s a custom–built volunteer opportunity for me. I visit with patients and families and share tender moments with them. I come in and do whatever it is they need. The staff is phenomenal and the families are so appreciative. When I leave here I feel uplifted,” she said.
