Community Hospice & Palliative Care Celebrates National Volunteer Month
April is National Volunteer Month, and Community Hospice & Palliative Care is dedicated to promoting and celebrating volunteerism. Volunteers are diverse and special members of the community, offering companionship and a listening ear to patients and family members.
Community Hospice & Palliative Care has over 1,000 volunteers who bring their many talents and educational backgrounds to help with pet therapy, veteran’s projects, thrift shops, music therapy, bereavement outreach, patient and family support, spiritual care, and administrative duties and to make a difference in the community.
“Volunteers have always been an integral part of Community Hospice & Palliative Care. Volunteers helped to start this great organization and have provided a supporting role ever since. Our volunteers are amazing, resourceful, energetic, skilled, possessing many talents, a wealth of experience, caring, loving, compassionate, thoughtful, willing to go the extra mile, generous, sacrificial, staying until the job is done,” said Dan Batty, Volunteer Services Manager. “I say thank you every time I get a chance to let our volunteers know that we appreciate them and value their volunteer service. I know there are many worthy organizations in our community, but I am glad our volunteers chose Community Hospice & Palliative Care. We could not be a success and achieve all that we do without their help.”
