Volunteers Needed for Hospice of the Western Reserve
Touch a life...Become a Hospice Volunteer.
Hospice is a philosphy of care, not a place. Hospice cares for patients wherever they call home. As a vital part of their team, volunteers come from all walks of life and have a variety of skills, talents and abilites.
Opportunities to serve are diverse: visit patients and families to provide companionship, socialization, and comfort, help with legacy work, transportation, light housework, meal preparation, run errands, make phone calls, help with clerical work, attend health fairs, make a presentation.Volunteers with specialized professional qualifications and training are also needed: attorneys, licensed hair dressers, massotherapists, pet therapy dogs, and their handlers.
Volunteer education is held frequently throughout northern Ohio. Teen and most volunteers not having contact with patients take 4 hours of training while patient care volunteers have 16 hours. Visit their website at www.hospicewr.org for more information or call 216-255-9090.
