Hospice of Southern Kentucky has been a member of the South Central Kentucky Community for over 40 years. We are your neighbors, friends, caregivers and family members. With a completely local staff and group of volunteers, our dedicated team members live, play, shop and work in every corner of our service area.

We are in need of volunteers to serve as Greeters for the Hospice House! Volunteer Greeters will be responsible for screening visitors, walking families to patient rooms, and light clerical duties. Volunteers must provide proof of vaccination and wear a mask while inside the building.
