A great place to volunteer
Both the palliative care home and the day centre rely on the extensive participation of dedicated volunteers to provide the highest quality care services for our patients and guests and their loved ones. We are always seeking volunteers who share our values and who wish to support our mission.
“Most of the experiences were emotional and at the same time, we felt we could relieve the pain of the patients’ families through a friendly gesture or an understanding ear. To feel a family comforted and less anxious at the thought of their loved one finishing their days at St. Raphael’s made me truly proud to be part of a truly exceptional and dedicated team.”
