Volunteers
Our belief at Nivalis Health is that volunteers are a vital part of our team. Being a hospice volunteer can sound like a service that only some are qualified to be part of when actually the opposite is true. Take George for example he was a shy little puppy just looking to do his thing everyday, eat, sleep, play, repeat and now he is a Certified Canine Good Citizen and trained therapy dog. The point being in all seriousness that volunteers can contribute in a variety of ways.
