Columbus Hospice of Georgia and Alabama is fortunate to have a wonderful and engaged group of volunteers. Currently, over 175 volunteers care for patients and families, as well as, support our staff.
We absolutely could not function without them!
Volunteers receive extensive and ongoing training designed to teach them the many aspects of working with sick and terminally-ill patients and their family members. Most volunteers express a desire to “give back” for the kindness they experienced in their lives. In addition, nearly all volunteers express that they find their reward in the privilege of serving others.

PROVIDE PATIENT COMPANIONSHIP
