Hospice Volunteer Meeting Set for Tuesday

Volunteers interested in sharing your time and talents with hospice patients and their families are invited to a volunteer meeting Tuesday, February 27, at 3:00 p.m. in the HRMC Legacy Plaza Auditorium.

Attendees will learn about being a hospital volunteer and engage in an activity that will help them think and feel deeply about what they value – what matters most. The goal is to learn about thinking critically about own our wishes for quality of life at end-of life, which in turn helps us work with those we care for in making decisions. Information about Advanced Care Planning and how to have a meaningful conversation with a doctor regarding wishes for end-of-life care. The meeting is open to anyone interested in learning more about hospice or about becoming a volunteer and would also benefit anyone who is a caregiver of a loved one.

HRMC Community Hospice volunteers play an important role in bringing hospice’s unique services to patients and their families. Volunteers can choose to assist in the following areas: patient and family care, special events and fundraising and office support.

Volunteers typically meet monthly on the last Tuesday of the month. For more information on hospice, call HRMC’s Hospice department at 605-353-6520, or visit the hospital’s website at www.huronregional.org.
