Housecalls Hospice of Camden-Clark Memorial Hospital will hold hospice volunteer training for patient care, bereavement and
chaplains, on Saturday, June 14 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Minnora United Methodist Church in Nobe, West Virginia.
Topics to be covered will include basic hospice philosophy, family dynamics, listening skills, grief and bereavement, and signs
and symptoms of a dying patient.
Patient care volunteers can make friendly visits to patients, sit with them so the caregiver can take a break, do light housework,
run errands, prepare meals, or be a caring listener.
Anyone interested in becoming a hospice volunteer should register by calling 420-7151 or 800-718-1485,
preferably by Thursday, June 12.
There is no cost for the training. |
