Be Brilliant. Help Others.
As a non-profit organization focused on patient care and bereavement, we at Horizon Home Care & Hospice are dedicated to finding compassionate and strong individuals or civic organizations who will volunteer their talents and energy to the welfare of our community. The team at Horizon devotes their expertise to comforting and caring for individuals and families during the very challenging process of death. Horizon also focuses on the grieving person by offering resources, counseling and a beautiful walk-in facility. Volunteers will not only learn that there are numerous ways to dedicate time, but that the rewards are truly amazing! Be brilliant. Help Others.
