Hospice Volunteer Training Class begins July 5th and meets weekly through August 9th . Class time is 9:30AM to 12Noon at Sandwich Community School. Register at scslearn.org or call Kathy Creedon 508 747-7222 for more information. Volunteers needed for Plymouth and Wareham areas. Your gift is your presence. Beacon Hospice is offering a comprehensive training class to help prepare individuals to become Hospice volunteers. The Beacon Hospice approach to care creates a patient and family environment of hope, comfort, and dignity. Volunteers are key team members and supported by a coordinator. Throughout the training volunteers will be introduced to the team members: Social Worker, Chaplain, Bereavement Coordinator and nursing staff who will all contribute to the understanding of hospice and its approach to healthcare. Join now and make a profound difference in someone’s life as well as your own. Visit with a patient, write letters, play music or hold a hand-the possibilities are endless. Upon completion, participants will receive Hospice Training Certificate, ID badge and jacket, and most importantly, an opportunity to serve others.
Instructors: Cindy Robotham & Kathy Creedon
