Caldwell Hospice Welcomes Ten New Volunteers and Plans March Training

LENOIR, NC (January 23, 2017)…Ten individuals completed Caldwell Hospice and Palliative Care’s most recent Adult Volunteer Training sessions. The new volunteers are:

Cynthia Alley, Rachel Boston, Kendal Bray, Lily Calderon, Marcus Dolphens, Vickie Gragg, Karen St. John, Barbara Stark, Tammy Whicker, and Pam Penttinen with therapy dog Galen.

These volunteers may choose from a variety of service opportunities including patient-family care, patient care unit support, grounds-keeping, and special projects.

If you are looking for an opportunity to make a difference, Caldwell Hospice currently has a need for volunteers to provide companionship to patients in the patient’s homes or long-term-care facilities. Other specific needs include volunteers who can provide transportation to doctors’ appointments and shopping excursions for patients, etc., and veterans to visit and make Veterans Honoring Veterans presentations to patients who are veterans.

The next Adult Volunteer Training sessions will be March 6 and 8 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Caldwell Hospice’s McCreary Family Professional Center on Pine Mountain Road in Hudson. Attendance is required at each session, and meals will be provided.

For more information or to register for the upcoming adult volunteer training opportunity, contact Volunteer Coordinator Brittany Bonn at 828.754.0101 or volunteercoordinator@caldwellhospice.org.
