PeaceHealth Hospice and HomeCare will have opportunities to obtain volunteer training to assist hospice patients, families or children in grief.

All volunteers are required to attend two basic training sessions from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. April 29 and May 6 where topics will include hospice history and basics, policies and regulations, emergency situations, infection control, understanding grief and more, according to a PeaceHealth press release.

If you would like to volunteer with “Stepping Stones” children’s grief support group, you can attend a training session from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. April 26.

If you would like to volunteer with PeaceHealth’s “No One Dies Alone” program, you can attend a 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. May 10 session. No One Dies Alone works to ensure hospice patients without families will have a volunteer with them as they die.

Volunteers who intend to help with patient care should attend a 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. May 13 training session.

All training sessions will be held at PeaceHealth Hospice and HomeCare at 5400 MacArthur Blvd., Vancouver. Volunteers have a commitment of four hours per week for at least one year.
