Compassus hospice seeking volunteers, training Sept. 25
September 19, 2018
Compassus hospice will be conducting training for persons interested in becoming Non-Medical Volunteers, according to Brenda Smith, Volunteer Coordinator of the Monett Compassus office. The training will be from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Tuesday, September 25, 2018, at the Monett Compassus office. The office is located at 845 Hwy. 60, Suite A.
Compassus hospice is recruiting Non-Medical Volunteers to fulfill a wide variety of patient needs. Volunteers are most commonly used to provide patient and family support. To enhance the volunteer services available, Compassus has developed various programs designed to better meet the specific and unique needs of each patient. These include the Dream Team, the Veterans Caring for Veterans Project, the Chaplaincy Program, and the ANGELS Program. The Dream Team assists in transforming unfulfilled patient dreams into realities; the Veterans Caring for Veterans Project matches fellow veteran volunteers with veteran patients; the Chaplaincy Program gives volunteers the opportunity to focus more on the spiritual needs of patients; and the ANGELS Program provides patient and family support in the last hours of the patient’s final journey.
Compassus also utilizes Non-Medical Volunteers to assist with office tasks and as community educators. There are also occasional needs for volunteers with a special skill or background, such as dentists; handymen; carpenters; electricians; plumbers; exterminators; barbers; hair stylists; massage, art, and music therapists; entertainers; shoppers to run errands; and restaurants and/or cooks to provide an occasional meal for a patient’s family the day the patient arrives home from the hospital.
Upon completing the Non-Medical Volunteer Training on September 25, volunteers will have the option to attend the Chaplain’s and ANGELS training in November 2018.
Opening its first hospice in 1979, Compassus is a family of community-based hospices. Their nationwide network is a vast resource, benefiting both patients and families. Compassus has a common culture around three core values: compassion, integrity, and excellence. Their primary goals are to provide the highest quality hospice care and service in every community in which they operate, and to be both the hospice provider of choice and the hospice employer of choice.
