Maybe you have the desire but don't feel that you would be well-suit- ed to working one-on-one with hospice patients and their fami- lies. Well, Krista Haynes, patient/ family volunteer coordinator at Hospice Cleveland County (HCC) would like to encourage you to learn more about the wide vari- ety of volunteer opportunities available at HCC. "We are always in need of volunteers to serve patients and families at the bedside, but we also need people to assist in the office, to help raise awareness about HCC, to contribute to educational programs, to provide fund- raising support and much, much more," she says. "I think a lot of people don't even think about volun- teering with us because they think they would have to work directly with patients, but all of our vol- unteers are very important to the work that we do." The National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization reports that approximately 430,000 trained hospice volun- teers provide more than 19 million hours of service to hospice programs each year. An estimated 1.6 million patients in the U.S. are cared for by Hospice every year. "It is federally mandated under Medicare that 5 percent of all patient-care hours be pro- vided by trained volunteers," says Haynes. "This shows the vital role that volunteers play in hospice." On Tuesday, April 24, 2018, HCC will honor more than 175 community members who are already volunteering with the organization. A superhero- themed party on that day will feature educational webinars along with refresh- ments and give- aways. "Our volunteers play an indispens- able role in enabling HCC to offer the best care possible for our patients, their fami- lies and caregivers. By sharing their time, energy and exper- tise, these volunteers bring compassion and care to the lives of those in need – they truly are our superheros!" says Haynes. If you are interested in becom- ing a volunteer, Haynes encour- ages you to give her a call at 704- 751-3547. For those interested in working with patients, the next training will be a 12-hour class that has morning and afternoon time options. The classes will be offered on Monday, April 9, Tuesday, April 10 and Thursday, April 12 from 9 a.m. - noon or from 5:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. each day. Online training is also now available – contact Haynes for more information.
