From staff reports
The Clarion Forest VNA Hospice Program is seeking volunteers to be part of an integrated health care team to help ensure the quality of life for persons with life-limiting illnesses.
Hospice volunteers provide companionship to hospice patients, support to family members and caregivers, assist with basic household tasks, sew Memory Bears for patients’ families, provide clerical support in the Hospice office, make phone calls to patients and their families, and assist with Hospice community events and bereavement programs.
VNA Hospice will hold a three-day volunteer training from 9 a.m. to noon April 18, 19, and 20 at the VNA Office, 271 Perkins Road, Clarion.
For more information or to register for training, contact volunteer coordinator Ruth Stewart at (814) 297-8360 by April 8.
