Talbot Hospice will hold its bi-annual Volunteer Training March 23 and 25, 8:15 a.m. – 4:15 p.m. If you are interested in giving back to our community in a meaningful way, consider becoming a Talbot Hospice Volunteer. Companion volunteers visit patients in their homes and in facilities,make check-in phone calls, shop for groceries, and transport patients to appointments and on errands. If you love to cook, we are seeking individuals to help cook breakfast and dinner in the Hospice House. Other roles include musicians, greeters, bereavement support, and gardeners.
Topics covered during training include hospice purpose and philosophy, volunteer roles, spirituality at end of life, death and dying, listening skills and boundaries, family dynamics, cultural diversity, and grief.
