Do You Like Chatting On The Phone? Interim Hospice is looking for Friendly Caller volunteers to talk with and be a friendly, listening ear to a patient in hospice care. Volunteers also make “tuck in” calls, wherein the volunteer calls a patient, or the facility where a patient lives, ask if they need additional supplies before the weekend, and communicate the information accordingly. Please contact Maya at (715) 842-7707 ext. 2711 to get started!
