Who are we?

Bristol Hospice is a growing organization that is graciously committed to our mission that all patients and families entrusted to our care will be treated with the highest level of compassion, respect and quality of care.

What do we do?

Bristol Hospice provides hospice services to meet the physical, psycho-social and spiritual needs of individuals at the end of life. We focus on an individualized plan of care, which may include, as appropriate, the following services : nursing, physicians, hospice aides, spiritual support, therapy, dietary, counseling, volunteers, durable medical equipment, supplies, bereavement services and medications related to the terminal illness.

How can YOU help?

Volunteers are an important part of the hospice model. Volunteers provide special compassionate presence and support to our patients and families in ways that only a volunteer can. When a volunteer visits a patient, they are visiting the patient because they want to be there. It's not a job or an obligation. That is a powerful action for our patients and families!

Additionally, hospice volunteering helps build invaluable skills AND looks great on a resume!
