Support Hospice Care

As west Georgia’s only community-based, nonprofit hospice provider, we work to extend our mission to every person in our community — regardless of ability to pay. To do that, we rely on community support, donations, fundraisers and more.

Volunteering with Tanner Hospice Care: We need you!

Our volunteers are what make Tanner Hospice Care truly special. Sometimes, what a patient in hospice care or his or her loved ones need isn’t a nurse or clinician — it’s companionship, someone to tidy up the kitchen or a ride to the grocery store.

We need volunteers to:

  • Call on patients at their home for companionship
  • Sit with patients to allow respite to caregivers
  • Assist with light household duties
  • Help with running errands

Hospice volunteers are a unique group of people who understand — often intimately — the important work that hospice does to help people live with dignity and compassion. Many of our volunteers have been touched by our services through their own loss of a loved one. 

We understand that hospice work isn’t for everyone, but for many, sharing your time and talents through Tanner Hospice Care is a meaningful way to give back to the community, support your neighbors and help patients and their loved ones alike.

Strep Throat: Symptoms and Diagnosis
Strep Throat: Symptoms and Diagnosis

Strep throat is a common bacterial infection that affects the throat and tonsils — and with school back in session, we’ll be seeing more and more cases. Understanding the symptoms and diagnosis of strep throat is essential in preventing complications and ensuring prompt, proper treatment.

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome
Fetal Alcohol Syndrome

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) is a condition of brain damage and growth problems. It is often misdiagnosed — or sometimes missed completely — preventing children from receiving the care, which could improve their lives.
