Client Volunteers

An important part of Hospice Care is the Hospice Visiting Program. This program provides professional staff and trained volunteers who:


• Provide companionship.
• Relieve caregivers for short periods of time.
• Provide information about resources in the community
• Give support to people and their families, who are living with a life threatening illness.
• Offer support to the bereaved.

Hospice volunteers are people from the community who are involved because they care. They are carefully selected and trained, and receive ongoing support, supervision and education. In everything they do, volunteers respect the privacy and need for confidentiality of the patient. There is no charge for the visiting services.

For more information on how to become a volunteer, or to receive and application, please contact Mary Rea, Programs & Services Manager at (250) 372-1336. Thank-you for your interest in Kamloops Hospice.
