Hospice of Pella has scheduled the next six-week training class for volunteers. The next round of training will be held Thursday mornings, March 19 – April 23 from 9 – 11:30 am at the Comfort House meeting room. To sign up, or for more information, call Hospice of Pella at 641-620-5050. All hospice volunteers are required to complete the hospice volunteer training class. Each class will give participants the chance to learn more about the hospice program and philosophy as well as explore their own feelings about life and death. The class is taught by experienced hospice staff members and experts in other disciplines. Hospice of Pella volunteers are members of the community donating their time in service of those Hospice of Pella serves. Whether it’s reading to a patient, weeding the garden or running much needed errands to a hospice patient in their home, the volunteers are an important part of the team.
