CC Hospice honors volunteers
WILMINGTON — Volunteers at Community Care Hospice make an impact on the lives of patients, their families, and the staff every day. During National Volunteer Week, April 19-25, Community Care Hospice recognized its volunteers. In 2019, 50 volunteers served more than 2,100 hours.
“We appreciate our volunteers so much,” said Jodi Howard, volunteer services coordinator. “They truly are the heart of hospice care.”
Volunteers play a vital role as members of the hospice care team. Each volunteer brings unique skills and experiences to the volunteer role of their choosing.
They serve as friendly visitors, respite caregivers, drivers, bereavement volunteers and more. They also serve as part of American Pride Veteran Care by Ohio’s Hospice, a program honoring Veterans. They support the staff as office assistants, event helpers, receptionists and more. They also are creative, making baked goods, crafted gifts, blankets and shawls, comfort pillows and memory bears for patients and families.
“We’re grateful to our volunteers for all they do to support our mission,” Howard said. “These volunteers touch the lives of our patients and families.”
