HOSPICE OF WAKE TO HOLD VOLUNTEER TRAINING

RALEIGH, NC – Hospice of Wake County will hold a two-day training class for new and prospective family support volunteers from 9 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on April 21 and 23 at the agency’s office, 1300 St. Mary’s Street in Raleigh. This training will give volunteer candidates an informative overview of the hospice mission and philosophy and will prepare them to visit patients in their homes, hospital or nursing home. Attendance does not obligate participants to continue as volunteers. During the course of the training, attendees can decide if patient care is the appropriate volunteer opportunity for them. Other opportunities exist for administrative support volunteers, grief companions and puppeteers.
