Volunteer Visitation Program (VVP)

Our Volunteer Visitors are at the heart of our visitation program. They offer compassionate connections and meaningful moments to clients and families who are receiving palliative treatment. These dedicated volunteers undergo specialized training, commit to regular home visits within the community, and participate in monthly support meetings to ensure they deliver the highest level of companionship during this difficult time.

To apply or learn more about becoming a Volunteer Visitor, please see the program page or contact our Volunteer Visitation Coordinator:
