Join the Hospicare Ambassadors

Help Us Change How Our Community Sees Hospice Care

Hospicare is more than end-of-life care—we’re about living fully, with comfort and dignity. But too many people in our community don’t know about the support we provide or have misconceptions about hospice care.

We need your help to change that.

We’re launching a new Ambassador Program that brings together Hospicare staff and community volunteers to spread awareness throughout Cortland and Tompkins counties. Together, we’ll show our neighbors that Hospicare is approachable, caring, and here when families need us most.

Why Join?

  • Make a real impact with just 3-5 events per year—less than one every other month.
  • Choose what fits you: speaking to groups, staffing information tables, or helping with event logistics.
  • Connect with like-minded people at monthly meetups that feel more like catching up with friends.
  • Get everything you need: complete training, materials, and ongoing support so you feel confident and prepared.
  • Be part of changing lives: Every conversation could help a family access care that transforms their most difficult time.

What You’ll Do:

    • Staff information tables at community events (health fairs, Apple Fest, senior expos)
    • Share Hospicare’s story with community groups (Rotary clubs, churches, civic organizations)
    • Help with small community events like chicken barbecues or wellness fairs
    • Distribute information to libraries, community centers, and other local spaces
    • Connect us with new opportunities in your own networks

What We Provide:
Monthly meetings (rotating between counties, with virtual options) include training, event planning, team building, and light snacks. We’ll give you talking points, materials, and pair you with experienced staff members or volunteers until you feel comfortable.
