Shirkey Hospice & Palliative Care

Hospice care goes beyond physical needs.

At Shirkey, we care for the whole person. That includes emotional and spiritual support for both patients and their families during one of life’s most important seasons.

Our team is here to listen, support, and walk alongside you.

One of the things that sets Shirkey Hospice apart is our commitment to more time with each patient.

With three weekly visits, our team is able to stay closely connected, manage symptoms more effectively, and support both patients and families in a more meaningful way. This is higher than the industry average of two weekly visits.

It’s not just care. It’s presence, consistency, and peace of mind.

This is what volunteering looks like. 💛

A simple visit. A shared moment. A meaningful connection.

Our volunteer Carol Bates spending time with one of our patients is a beautiful reminder that sometimes the greatest gift you can give is your presence. These moments matter more than words can say.

If you’ve ever thought about giving back, this is your sign. There are so many ways to make a difference through volunteering with Shirkey Hospice.

To learn more or get involved, reach out to Leann Jenkins at volunteers@shirkeyhospice.com

What a way to start the morning in Concordia, yesterday! 🎶

Our first stop today was Good Shepherd in Concordia, and it was full of energy from the very first song. With knee-slapping, hand-clapping, and foot-stomping fun, Pastor Paul had the whole room smiling and joining in.

They just love him—and it’s easy to see why! He brings joy, laughter, and music wherever he goes.

Moments like these remind us how powerful connection and a little music can be. ☘️

Hospice volunteers bring comfort, companionship, and support to patients and their families.

Sometimes it is sitting and visiting. Sometimes it is reading, playing cards, or simply being present so a caregiver can take a short break.
If you are looking for a meaningful way to serve your community, volunteering with hospice can make a real difference.
