Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteers are an integral part of the end-of-life journey and have a tremendous impact on the lives of the patients that they serve, the hospice team and the families and friends of the terminally ill. Volunteer Opportunities for hospice care are available through both Heartland Hospice Moose Jaw and the Saskatchewan Health Authority.

Palliative Care Volunteer
Palliative Care is the physical, emotional, social and spiritual care given to a dying individual and his or her loved ones where active treatment is no longer the goal. Such care may occur in a hospital ward or a long-term care facility, but it is usually a service provided at home. Duties may include companion sitting, reading, music, writing, etc. Palliative volunteers must attend specific orientation and training before actively volunteering.
