Hospice Seeking New Volunteers,
Plans Spring Training Session
Submitted by Margaret Smith
Hospice volunteers are special
people and Hospice needs more of those
special people!
There is a lot to be gained by being
a Hospice volunteer:
• Satisfaction from making a differ
ence in people’s lives
• Greater self knowledge from in
sights gained from relationships with pa
tients and their families and from training
provided by Hospice Volunteers provide a
link to the Hospice staff and they are an
important source of information for the Hos
pice team.
Volunteers serve in many ways:
• Listen to concerns
• Keep the patient company
• Be a support person
• Do chores around the house
• Run errands
• Volunteers also help behind the
scene with clerical work and fund raising.
If being a Hospice volunteer sounds
interesting to you, our next training session is
scheduled for February 22,23, and 24. Please
come join us!
To reserve your place at the training
sessions or just to learn more about the Hos
pice program, please call Margaret Smith at
the Hospice office at 808-6085, or at home at
247-4800.

good routine in place for keeping the

looking good. It only takes a little
coordinating from one caring mem
ber. For more information please call
Paul Pylko at 240-3181.
