FAIRHOPE Hospice & Palliative Care continually seeks volunteers that contribute to a mission of quality and compassionate end-of-life care for our patients and their families. The support of our volunteer team allows us to forge ahead devotedly towards a community that helps care for one another.
New volunteers are inducted into a training class, beginning October 16, to review fundamental steps and instruction geared towards specific volunteer duties. This will be the final training of 2024, with 2025 dates coming soon. Training classes will be held every Wednesday for six weeks at the FAIRHOPE Pickering House location, 282 Sells Road, Lancaster, from 1-4 p.m. For more information about volunteering or to register for training, call Twylia Summers, Volunteer Manager, at (740) 657-7077, or visit https://fairhopehospice.org/volunteer/.
Our volunteers participate in rewarding experiences through opportunities for patient companionship, clerical duties, fundraising events and community outreach.
“Volunteering at hospice gives you an opportunity to slow down and meet people where they are. To sit and listen, with your ears as well as with your heart.” said Kristin Glasure, FAIRHOPE President and CEO. “Our volunteers are an integral part of our team, giving their time, talent, and energy to serve our patients.”
