LENOIR, NC (September 12, 2017)…Four individuals completed Caldwell Hospice and Palliative Care’s recent Ambassador Volunteer Training sessions.

Ambassador volunteers, who must be 18-years-old and recommended by the pastor or spiritual leader, serve as a liaison between their individual faith community and Caldwell Hospice. The ambassador educates his/her congregation on Hospice services, publicizes support and volunteer opportunities, and helps coordinate any specialized needs/ministries the congregation can help to meet.

Caldwell Hospice currently has 62 Ambassador Volunteers representing 58 faith communities.

The next Ambassador Volunteer Training session will be November 1, 2017, from 2 to 5 p.m. at Caldwell Hospice’s Wilson Meeting Room at 902 Kirkwood Street, NW, Lenoir.

For 35 years, Caldwell Hospice has provided quality, respectful end-of-life care to our community. For more information about the Ambassador Volunteer Program, contact Chaplain Delbert Minner at 828.754.0101, or dminner@caldwellhospice.org.
