Hospice Georgina staff and volunteers can provide emotional, social and spiritual support to individuals facing a life-limiting illness. It can be helpful to have a good listener who understands and who offers simple companionship when it is so desperately needed. Well trained Hospice volunteers can help people to continue enjoying what is important in their lives despite health limitations.
