Hospice Volunteer Training

Signature Hospice invites you to join our team to support patients and families in your Portland community.  It may be that you walk with someone in a garden at their home or care facility. It may be that you hear stories of a lifetime of relationships and adventure, or listen to current worries and concerns. It may be that you sit in silence, holding a hand, holding sacred space.
