Those who choose to become volunteers will attend two days of classes, September 20 and 30, from 8am to 5pm at Amery Regional Medical Center. ADORAY Hospice patients living in Polk County are especially in need of hospice volunteers.

The training prepares community members to become part of the ADORAY Hospice team. Those in attendance learn the philosophy of hospice care and are prepared for the complex challenges patients and their families face when coping with a terminal illness. The training also covers the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of death and dying.

For more information, please call Debbie Milligan at 800-359-0174 or 715-684-5020. Registration for the two-hour class is preferred, but not required.
