Hospice of the Western Reserve Volunteer Education Series
9:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Friday and Saturday, Dec. 4 and 5, from 9 a.m.-5 p.m.

Hospice of the Western Reserve is seeking volunteers to assist in private residences, nursing homes, assisted living communities, our two Hospice House locations, and hospital settings. Volunteers come from all walks of life and have a variety of skills, talents and abilities. Opportunities to serve are diverse: visit patients and families to provide companionship, socialization, and comfort; help with legacy work, transportation, light housework, and meal preparation; run errands; make phone calls; help with clerical work; attend health fairs; make presentations. Volunteers with specialized professional qualifications and training are also needed: attorneys, licensed hair dressers, massotherapists, pet therapy dogs and their handlers.

Teen and nonclinical volunteers attend only the first four hours on Dec. 4, while most other volunteers attend all classes. Pre-registration is required. For more information, or to register, call 800-707-8922, ext. 6881.
