"We could not do the work we do without the gifts of time and talent from our hospice volunteers who support our organization and walk with patients and families during the journey at life's end," said Krista Haynes, Patient/Family Volunteer Coordinator. The National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization reports that there are an estimated 450,000 hospice volunteers providing more than 21 million hours of service to hospice programs each year. More than 1.65 million patients in the U.S. are cared for by hospice every year. It is federally mandated under Medicare that five percent of all patient care hours be provided by trained volunteers. This regulation reflects the vital role that volunteers play in the hospice philosophy of care and ensures that a hospice program has roots deep in the community. Here in Cleveland County, 214 volunteers provide 10,632 hours per year to help Hospice Cleveland County care for patients and families in the community. Hospice volunteers often serve patients and families at the bedside but they also assist in the office, help raise awareness, contribute to educational programs, and provide Jan Young with Sparkie, one of her Mini Horses, fundraising support and more. visiting patients at Wendover Hospice House.
