Hospice Volunteers – a Special
Kind of Caring
Hospice goes beyond
traditional healthcare. It's providing solutions for difficult times,
being
close in a time of fear, a
friend with time to share, laughter in the midst of tears,
it's dignity, it's
humanity, it's what we do. It must be love.
Hospice Volunteer Training is held in the Spring & Fall.
Schedules are posted as they become available.
Please call
Lori Wright
at
527-7531, ext. 121 for more information.
We offer a
nine-week training course which includes an introduction to the hospice
philosophy; discussions of death, dying, and grief; communication skills
training; stress management skills; and an overview of diseases and conditions.
Training is provided by skilled professionals in a format compatible with a busy
schedule.
Whether or not you decide to volunteer for Hospice, the topics
covered are useful in the
challenging situations we all encounter.

Personal Death Awareness
Family Dynamics
Physical Care of the Dying
