In the Spotlight - Cedar Valley Hospice

Cedar Valley Hospice is committed to serving the needs of terminally ill patients and grieving families.

Cedar Falls Hospice needs volunteers to act as Quincy or Katie Koala or their friend to support children who are chronically ill, or grieving the death of a loved one.

Volunteers are also needed  as Patient/Family Volunteers. Cedar Valley Hospice volunteers are assigned to patients and families in hospice care or on our palliative care program. They become friends who listen and respond to patient and families' needs with understanding and empathy. Volunteers help maintain a sense of normalcy and quality of life. Tasks may include providing companionship to hospice or LINK patients, offering respite care for the caregiver, shopping, running errands, providing transportation or assisting at the Hospice Home.

Call 272-2087 to volunteer!
