Compass Regional Hospice chose Pat Unruh of Kennedyville as the most recent volunteer of the month. Unruh supports Compass Regional Hospice in many administrative roles, including greeting visitors and answering the phone. She is also one of the volunteers who makes Memory Bears that honor the memory of a loved one who died under hospice care.
“After deciding to retire from the State of Maryland Pat wanted to put her administrative and customer service skills to good use,” says Courtney Williams, manager of volunteer and professional services for Compass Regional Hospice. “When she isn’t in the Centreville office, Pat supports the bereavement program by crafting Memory Bears for families who have lost a loved one. Compass is so fortunate that she shares her talents with the community we serve.”
Compass Regional Hospice relies on more than 300 volunteers of all ages to perform administrative tasks, assist with events, visit patients and lend a hand in the gardens at the Hospice Center located at 255 Comet Drive in Centreville. Volunteers also operate Estate Treasures, an upscale resale shop in Chester that raises funds for Compass Regional Hospice.
