Make a difference, be a hospice volunteer

Want to learn more about being a hospice volunteer? Join us for a series of four training sessions sponsored by Good Shepherd Home Health and Hospice Agency. Introductory volunteer training will be on Thursday June 7th, 14th, 21 and 28th, 2007 at Good Shepherd Home Health & Hospice agency.

Office personnel and family/ patient volunteers are needed for Good Shepherd Home Health and Hospice Agency's Hospice Program. Hospice volunteers render a variety of services to hospice patients and their families, including home visits, emotional support, running errands and lending a listening ear. The primary goal of the hospice team is to enable the patient to spend his or her last days with a sense of dignity, pain free and at home with loved ones.

Please call Chaplin Arnaldo Lugo, at 389-6311 to register for the classes or for more information about being a hospice volunteer. It will make a difference in your life.
