Volunteer Corner
We’d love to make you a part of our family.
At Constellation, our volunteers play an essential role in enhancing the end-of-life journey for patients and families. Through comfort, connection, and care, volunteers work hand-in-hand with our dedicated care team to preserve dignity, provide companionship, and ease the weight of this tender time. The impact of our volunteers cannot be overstated—we truly could not do this work without you.
Hospice care is a specialized form of medical care designed to provide comfort, dignity, and peace to individuals with terminal illnesses. It takes a holistic approach, addressing not only physical needs but also the emotional, social, and spiritual well-being of patients and their families. Wherever a patient calls home, hospice care ensures their final chapter is lived with quality and compassion.
We believe every person deserves a dignified and meaningful final phase of life. Hospice is not about curing illness—it is about relieving suffering, nurturing comfort, and surrounding patients with love and support. This philosophy allows patients to spend their days in peace, embraced by the presence of family, friends, and compassionate caregivers.
Hospice began with volunteers—neighbors, doctors, nurses, and social workers—who came together to bring comfort and companionship to the terminally ill. Today, hospice has grown into a comprehensive model of care delivered by professional teams, but volunteers remain the heart of its mission. In fact, Medicare requires volunteer involvement, recognizing that the human connection volunteers provide is irreplaceable. At Constellation, our volunteers continue to carry forward that original spirit of kindness, respect, and integrity in every visit, every conversation, and every act of service.
The presence of a hospice volunteer can change everything. For patients, pain and symptoms are managed so they can focus on what matters most—sharing memories, laughter, and love. For families, the support of volunteers brings guidance, respite, and reassurance during one of life’s most profound transitions. Together, we create space for comfort, closure, and peace.
Becoming a Constellation volunteer is more than giving your time—it’s about becoming part of a family that uplifts others during one of life’s most vulnerable times. Volunteers discover not only the joy of helping others but also personal growth, a stronger sense of community, and the fulfillment that comes from making a lasting difference.
We match your strengths, interests, and goals with opportunities that create the most impact. Whether offering companionship at the bedside, assisting behind the scenes, or sharing professional talents, every role matters.

Volunteering at Constellation is flexible, meaningful, and life-changing. Whether you can give a few hours a month or several hours each week, your time and presence make a lasting difference.
Our volunteers reflect the beautiful diversity of the communities we serve, bringing unique skills, backgrounds, and perspectives. Together, we create a circle of care that extends beyond medicine—rooted in compassion, respect, and integrity.
If you are ready to share your heart, your gifts, and your time, we would be honored to welcome you into our Constellation volunteer family. Together, we can bring light, comfort, and hope to those who need it most.
