Hospice of the Western Reserve Volunteer Education Series
5:30 PM - 9:30 PM
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. As a vital part of Hospice of the Western Reserve’s team, 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, meal preparation, run errands, make phone calls, help with clerical work, attend health fairs, make a presentation. Volunteers with specialized professional qualifications and training are also needed: attorneys, licensed hair dressers, massotherapists, pet therapy dogs and their handlers.
The next series of volunteer classes will be held at St. John’s West Shore Hospital, 29101 Health Campus Drive, Building 2, Suite 400, Westlake, OH, 44145, on Wednesdays and Fridays September 9, 11, 16, and 18 from 5:30 p.m. – 9:30 p.m. Teen and nonclinical volunteers only attend the first four hours of the September 9 class while most other volunteers attend all classes. Pre-registration is required. For more information or to register, call the volunteer team at 800.707.8922 ext. 6881.
