The Rev. Dr. Cathy Genthner, Compassus chaplain in Scarborough, explains why renewing wedding vows or other family observances are a life-affirming experience.

Each day, hospice volunteers touch the lives of our patients and their families. Whether reading to a patient, preparing a meal for a family or cleaning up around the house, each gesture makes a meaningful impact on those we serve.
Whether you volunteer behind the scenes at the office or one-on-one with families, you are a valuable member of our hospice team. All volunteers receive free training at a local office.
