Hospice Volunteers Serving with Heart

A massive thank you to our incredible volunteers who stepped up for the Hops for Hospice event at The Crick! 🍻❤️
Events like this simply don't happen without a village, and our volunteers are the absolute best. From setting up to keeping things running smoothly, your time, energy, and big hearts made the day a massive success.
Because of you, we are able to continue providing comfort, dignity, and care to our patients and their families when they need it most. We appreciate every single one of you!

🩵Looking for a meaningful way to give back?

CHP Home Care and Hospice is offering Hospice Volunteer Training—we are looking for compassionate individuals to join our volunteer team.

Sometimes the most powerful gift you can give is simply your presence. Whether it’s sitting with a patient, offering a listening ear, or supporting families, your time truly matters.

If you have a heart for helping others, we would love to hear from you.

Volunteers don't look for the limelight, but they certainly deserve it. 💙
This National Volunteer Week, we are celebrating the wonderful hearts who serve at the CHP Defiance Inpatient Hospice Center. Whether they are the warm smile greeting families at our reception desk or the gentle presence visiting at a patient’s bedside, their impact is immeasurable.
We loved getting to celebrate them at our appreciation dinner this week. Thank you for choosing to spend your time bringing comfort to our patients and families!

March is National Social Work Month, and today we want to take a moment to recognize our own Inpatient Hospice Social worker, Laurie Hockenberry.

Whether it’s offering a listening ear, helping navigate complex decisions, or simply being present, her impact reaches far beyond what can be measured.

In some of life’s most difficult moments, social workers show up with compassion, strength, and unwavering support. They advocate for our patients, guide families through unimaginable transitions, and provide comfort when words are hard to find.

We are incredibly grateful for the dedication, empathy, and resilience all of our social workers bring each and every day. Thank you for the difference you make in the lives of our patients and their families. 🩵
