Pella Regional announced that David Willemsen is Hospice of Pella’s 2023 Volunteer of the Year on Wednesday. David, along with other honored volunteers throughout Iowa, is recognized with great appreciation by Hospice and Palliative Care Association of Iowa and his local community.

Volunteers of Hospice of Pella provide companionship for patients and relief for caregivers by letting them take a break from the bedside. They help with transportation needs, including errands and rides to and from appointments. They also may help in the office and take care of the garden. Hospice of Pella is grateful for all of the volunteers that serve in many capacities throughout the year.
