About Us

Forest Park Hospice is committed to creating an environment that acts as a magnet for the most collaborative, unselfish, and team-oriented people in the Portland area and is an Impact Healthcare Agency. Impact Healthcare currently provides Home Healthcare and end-of-life Hospice Care to 1,500 patients throughout CA, UT, AZ, and OR. With 11 Medicare Certified agencies, 12 locations, and a great support team, Impact Healthcare is positioned with the strength of a large organization, but the heart of a small one. We believe in finding, enjoying, and achieving a better way as we strive every day to be the provider of choice in the communities we serve.

Hospice is a comprehensive healthcare program, designed to help people who have a terminal illness and life expectancy of up to 6 months.

Ways to Serve:

• Sit and talk
• Read
• Play music
• Handle light housekeeping home repairs/lawn care
• Make memory books
• Complete office work 

Requirements:

•  At least 1-4 hours a week
• Complete Hospice volunteer training program (mostly online and takes about 12 hrs. to complete)
• Willing to undergo a background check (we pay for), and a TB test

Why volunteer with us?

We have a team approach that is focused on "our" success in achieving a great work environment and excellent patient outcomes. We believe in caring for both our team and our patients and have a profound understanding of the value in both. We are committed to being the provider of choice in the areas we serve. Come meet us, join the team, and help us continue to build something great. . . We're excited to meet you!
