I will never forget the helpfulness of hospice, and will do what I can to support its operation. Medicare requires that volunteers provide five percent of the direct patient care hours. Hospice of Boulder County volunteers have historically provided a more substantial percentage. Hospice could not provide grief support to our community without our volunteers. Top Volunteer Applications Hospice selects people based on their qualifications, their ability to deal with dying, death and grief, and their availability to meet the current needs of the clients and of the organization.
All volunteers receive training appropriate to their assignment.
After training is completed, hospice requires a minimum commitment of one year of volunteer service, for 2 to 4 hours a week.
