Most people think of working in a food bank or tutoring others, but many don’t realize how fulfilling it can be caring for hospice patients. Memorial Regional Health is currently seeking volunteers for its Hospice Volunteer Program, headed by Melissa Almon, a social worker for MRH Home Health and Hospice. Volunteers work within their scope of practice to assist patients and their families with their everyday needs. Under the supervision of an MRH social worker, volunteers provide support for hospice patients and their families in their homes or other care settings.
