Our volunteers are the heart of Arbor Hospice. 💜

Listen to long-time volunteer, Sarah Gehani, talk about her experience as a hospice volunteer for the last 13 years.

We have more than 100 dedicated volunteers serving in roles that build on their strengths and abilities—whether it’s providing companionship or caregiver relief support at the patient’s bedside, raising awareness in the community about our services, or in a number of administrative roles supporting office staff.

April is National Volunteer Month, and we want to take a moment to honor the people who show up for our patients and families not because they have to, but because they choose to. 💜

Arbor Hospice volunteers are some of the most extraordinary people we know. They sit with patients, run errands, offer companionship, and give families a chance to breathe. They show up in the quiet moments, and those moments mean everything.

If you've ever felt called to give your time in a way that truly matters, we'd love to hear from you.
