Volunteer in Hospice of Central New York

The Caring Coalition of Central New York, dba Hospice of Central New York & of the Finger Lakes, as our community’s expert resource at the end-of-life, provides comprehensive comfort care to patients and families through unique interdisciplinary services, bereavement counseling, education, and collaboration.

Hospice care is provided in a home-like setting, whether it be the patient’s home, Matthew House, or Francis House. Hospice care focuses on the patient’s quality of life by addressing pain and symptom management. The Hospice philosophy is about living out our final months as comfortably and peacefully as possible. Improving the patient’s overall quality of life is our number one goal.

Every step of this journey there is a care team here to help the patient and their family maneuver through the many end-of-life changes and stages. End-of-life is a special time that should be cherished and treated with respect and dignity; this is our specialty at Hospice of Central New York & of the Finger Lakes.
