Volunteers make a huge contribution to the work of St. Elizabeth Hospice, and are at the heart of our work.

The spirit of hospice volunteering is borne from a genuine desire to give comfort, peace, and care to patients, caregivers, and families during the end of life. As a St. Elizabeth Hospice volunteer, you become part of a person’s life when help is needed most.

We welcome all those who wish to be a part of the special services we provide through volunteering. No service is too small and we have many options for engaging with our program. How do you want to serve our patients and families?

Trainings are held four times per year, or as needed.

Volunteers must be 18 years or older to apply. Please call our volunteer coordinator at (859) 301-4622 or contact us by email for more information about volunteer opportunities.
