PORTLAND, Ore. – Are you looking for a volunteer opportunity that engages your heart, mind, and spirit in caring for others in your own neighborhood?
Join the Kaiser Permanente Hospice volunteer team and make a difference in the lives of patients who are struggling with terminal illness. Hospice volunteers provide home-based physical and emotional support to terminally ill patients and respite for their caregivers in Multnomah, Clackamas and Washington counties.

Held in North Portland with easy access from I-5, the next class series will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12:30 to 4 p.m., starting January 18 through February 6 with one Saturday session on January 27. Although volunteers from all areas are sought, those from Hillsboro, Clackamas, Beaverton, Sandy and NE Portland are particularly needed.
