Music is a powerful tool for those at the end of life. Music can help to ease pain, comfort caregivers, serve as a tool for life review, and just bring a smile to someone’s face.

One of the most common requests from Northfield Hospice patients is someone to share music with them.

If you make music, [or simply like to listen,] you’re invited to volunteer with hospice patients.

Volunteers commit to one hour per week or more. Most volunteers see one patient per week, spending 30-60 minutes in the patient’s home.

Northfield Hospice offers a complete orientation process and monthly meetings for continued volunteer education and support.
