Volunteers are an integral and valued part of our team at Carefor Hospice Cornwall.

We offer specialized training in all areas. All volunteers are required to have a valid police check on file to work within our organization. They also must take part in a Palliative Care Course, given by a registered health care professional. This course covers all aspects of end-of-life care and how it pertains to volunteering at Hospice.

If you would like to learn more about volunteering, please contact our Volunteer & Community Supervisor, Kristan Poirier, at 613-938-2763 ext. 4140. You may also visit Hospice Cornwall at 1507 Second Street West in Cornwall to receive a copy of the Volunteer Application Form.
