This
hospital volunteer goes out to the patient’s home.
If
you are the type of person who finds that comforting
someone in their time of need is a rewarding experience, then we
invite you to become a
HOSPICE VOLUNTEER. There
are no nursing requirements, simply attend our training program and
learn techniques to establish rapport, show empathy and communicate
with terminally ill patients.

Debbe Lamb (left) said, "Some people wonder if they could do this
kind of volunteer service. To
which I respond, 'I can’t say no to visiting these patients.'
Caring for others has benefited me as much as those people I visit.
Some elderly patients have no family members living nearby,
so I become their FAMILY. Patients
tell me some humorous life stories, and
we become FRIENDS."
