What are the responsibilities and job description for the Patient Visitors- Lower Bucks County position at Penn Medicine, University of Pennsylvania Health System?
Our holistic philosophy takes a proactive approach to pain and symptom management, recognizing that pain extends beyond the physical. We address not only the symptoms of each patient's illness but also the emotional and spiritual concerns of the patient, caregiver, and family. Our goal is to assist patients and their loved ones in navigating the challenges that accompany death and dying.
Hospice care empowers patients to take control of their lives and treatment. It encourages them to actively participate in important medical and legal decisions that affect themselves and those around them. Our multidisciplinary hospice team offers a wide range of care and support, allowing patients to live their final months comfortably, with control, dignity, and respect.

The role of the volunteer is pivotal to providing a well-rounded approach to end of life care.
