**Fill in volunteer at our Hospice House**

About the role

Our ambassadors, what we like to call our volunteers, work in both clinical and non-clinical areas. Their talents are used at information desks, reception areas, patient registration, surgery family room, business offices, and hospice care - just to name a few. They also help with special projects such as Community Blood Drives and fundraising events. Ambassadors and staff work as a team to provide compassionate care and support to our patients and families. The Hospice House on the Olathe campus of The University of Kansas Health System is a calm, friendly environment where staff and volunteers provide support to hospice patients and their families.
