Hospice of the Panhandle was founded in 1980 by a group of concerned volunteers. Since then volunteers have been integral to the delivery of compassionate care as well as the growth of the organization.

Hospice volunteers are extremely important to hospice-so much so that Medicare stipulates 5% of all patient care be provided by volunteers. Individuals who are interested in either patient and family support or bereavement care are required to complete a 25 hour training course. Training is not required, but is recommended, for organizational support volunteers.
