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
Membership is renewable annually

the bylaws state that the

no less than thirty (30) days prior to the Annual Meeting

Members may choose to serve the hospice and bereaved family by
becoming a direct care
Pine Tree Hospice volunteer, an indirect care Pine Tree Hospice Volunteer,
or a Pine Tree Hospice Evergreen Bereavement Facilitator for Adults,
or for Children and Families
"Direct care" Hospice Volunteers interact
with clients and families;
they do not provide physical nursing care
"Indirect care" Volunteers and Bereavement
Facilitators serve clients and families;
but do not
interact directly with hospice clients
Pine Tree Hospice offers educational programs to prepare Hospice Volunteers and Evergreen Bereavement
Volunteer Facilitators
Members who do not serve clients or families as volunteers
(direct or indirect care) are not required to complete an
educational program
Donations of time and/or money are voluntary at the discretion of
individual members and/or volunteers
Evergreen, the Pine Tree Hospice Center for Grieving Children and
Their Families is a wonderful opportunity for volunteers to work
with children
