Looking for Students interested in or working towards a career in Healthcare! 

Hospice is a support program for people with a life-limiting illness. Hospice care provides comfort and support for the patient and their family on their journey. The focus is on maintaining the patient's quality of life while respecting their dignity and uniqueness. Hospice services are available seven days a week, 24 hours a day by a team of dedicated staff and volunteers

Being a hospice volunteer is a rewarding experience that allows you to make a difference in the lives of patients and their families during a difficult time. As a hospice volunteer, you can provide emotional support, companionship, and assistance with day-to-day tasks for patients and their loved ones. It's a chance to give back to your community and to make a positive impact in someone's life. By volunteering, you can also gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for the end-of-life process. There is no specific time commitment. You can work around your schedule. No amount you share is too little or too much.

Use what you have learned in the classroom to help improve the quality of life for hospice patients. Utilize free time to be compassionate and genuine in order to reduce terminally ill patients’ loneliness and isolation. Please help us keep our patients happy and comfortable as they reach the end of their life due to a variety of health conditions including: cancer, Alzheimer’s, etc.

Conversations to Remember is a virtual visit program that matches 2-3 college students with residents of long-term care, assisted living, and memory care communities for virtual video visits. These residents have been suffering from isolation, and your students could really brighten their days just by speaking with them. Training is provided to the students in the program about the best ways to interact with the seniors, as well as additional support throughout their service. Since these visits are virtual, students can do it without any travel. This is both convenient, and allows more of the volunteers' time to be spent volunteering, rather than commuting to their volunteering location. We provide this program free of charge to seniors across the country, and have students from around the country as well. This is a fantastic opportunity for students to engage themselves within their community and make a difference.

Typically, students volunteer one hour per week. Each call lasts up to one hour, based on the senior's attention span and mood on each day. Students are expected to volunteer for at least 16 weeks, so that they can build a friendship with the senior. This does not need to coincide with the start of a semester, as there are new seniors starting all the time, and new volunteers trained weekly. The students are matched based on the times that they're available, with a senior who is available at the same time, and they will have a regular, weekly appointment for their visit. Students wishing for more visits or other opportunities that allow them to volunteer more hours can be accommodated with different ways to volunteer, such as assisting with our social media, call support, or outreach.

Please feel free to contact Branden Chen via email at branden@conversationstoremember.org with any questions that you have about the program, or to look through our website, at https://conversationstoremember.org. Students can register to volunteer by filling out a volunteer interest form on our website.
