Patient Care/Hospice Volunteers Housecall Providers (age 18+) Referral
Housecall Providers mission is: Improving lives by bringing health care home.
We pride ourselves on delivering unparalleled medical care to the homebound and to chronically ill members in our community.
No human being should be left along during times of serious illness or as they faced the end of life. Yet all too often, people pull away. A Housecall Providers volunteer fills that gap by being a companion who provides compassion, a listening ear, support and caregiver respite. Housecall Providers’ volunteers become an essential part of the team delivering quality care for patients who are homebound or near the end of their life.
A Housecall Providers volunteer visits homebound people living in the Portland Metro, providing them with meaningful companionship and much-needed respite for their caregivers. You may read a favorite book, run small errands, walk the dog, or help tidy up their home. Perhaps you will simply offer quiet comfort by sitting with them or holding a hand. No matter what, your presence offers reassurance that they are not alone.
Are you interested in becoming a Housecall Providers Volunteer? The process is simple! Just contact Volunteer Coordinator Todd Lawrence for more information in ANY of the following ways:

Volunteer orientations are scheduled one-on-one as needed, and patient care volunteer trainings are scheduled every 10 to 12 weeks. Veterans are particularly encouraged to apply. Our volunteers gain valuable experience working closely with people at end of life, and one of the nation's best healthcare teams.
Individuals are encouraged to wait a year after the loss of a significant person before serving as a hospice volunteer working with patients, families or caregivers.
Volunteers will have the opportunity to contribute to one of the region's most respected healthcare teams, gaining skills and personal growth along the way. There is truly nothing like the honor of being of service to others at one of the most crucial times in their lives.
