Join Our Hospice Volunteer Team!

Compassus Hospice is currently looking for people in the West Chester area to participate in our volunteer program.

As little as 1-2 hours per week makes a difference in someone's life.

Compassus serves patients in assisted livings, nursing homes, or in their own homes.

Volunteers will learn about hospice services, and how to provide non-medical visits to people with a life limiting illness. Through your commitment to Compassus, you can impact patients in extraordinary ways!
