Volunteer Spotlight: Patrice Barrett

“I chose to become a hospice volunteer over 20 years ago… I wondered what transpired for individuals and families after being told their disease was terminal.”

With over two decades of experience, Patrice brings compassion, curiosity, and deep understanding to every visit — supporting both patients and families through some of life’s most vulnerable moments.

From reading to patients to offering a listening ear, Patrice creates space for comfort, connection, and even the sharing of life stories that might otherwise be lost.

“I usually leave patient visits feeling as if I have done some unique good in the world.”

To those considering volunteering, Patrice shares:
“It can be richly rewarding and allow you to share vulnerable moments of patients' lives.”
