The mission of Pine Tree Hospice is to honor life and offer comfort with dignity to people
of any age living with a progressive life-limiting illness.
We educate and support our volunteers and staff to maintain a
high standard of care, and we respond to care-giver, family and community
needs for continued bereavement support.
Any interested individual who supports our mission and/or who
volunteers with the organization in any manner is invited to
become a member of Pine Tree Hospice

the bylaws state that the
Membership Form must be received

Members may choose to serve the hospice and bereaved family by
becoming a direct care

or a Pine Tree Hospice Evergreen Bereavement Facilitator
"Direct care" Volunteers and Bereavement Facilitators interact
with clients and families; they do not provide nursing care

but do not
interact directly with clients or families
Pine Tree Hospice Volunteers and Evergreen Bereavement Facilitators
complete one of our state-mandated educational programs

(direct or indirect care) are not required to complete an
educational program
Donations of time and/or money are voluntary at the discretion of
