We Love Our Volunteers

The Mount Evans heart beats stronger because of our volunteers. Whether providing respite to caregivers or companionship to patients, participating in various craft projects, mentoring a grieving child at Camp Comfort, helping out at special events, or being a comforting presence during the tender days of hospice care and bereavement, our volunteers selflessly serve their neighbors in need.

Volunteers must be fully vaccinated against flu and Covid-19 (most event volunteers excepted). Volunteers who work with patients and families receive in-person and online training as well as continuing education, and are required to undergo background checks and drug screening.
