Open Opportunity

About

Join the passionate team at St. Croix Hospice in providing the best-of care by sharing your time, your stories... your listening ear. It all starts with weekly visits with hospice patients in helping them to celebrate life and their legacy.

Remember the days of Show and Tell? The preparation, creativity, interest and excitement? It was the chance to take a center stage in front of others. Now it is your time to help another person shine with their stories, their heart-swelling proud moments... or even chuckles in hearing of their pranks and colorful personalities.

Choosing St. Croix Hospice as your service learning opportunity would mean:
*Learning about multi-disciplinary teams, family dynamics, and the role of compassion, respect, dignity and empathy.
*Visiting patients and families by offering emotional support through conversations, listening, handholding or even a quiet calm presence.
*Customized activities like reading, walking, or helping patients attend activities in their facility. Bingo, music and Social Hour are always popular.*Individualized pampering and comfort like painting nails, games, puzzles, sports footage, music, and life legacy review.

It is an experience sure to help your heart grow two sizes!
