Hello everyone! We are in desperate need for some Spanish speaking volunteers! A lot of our patients speak Spanish, and we would love to be able to get people who are comfortable speaking Spanish to go and socialize with them. The majority of what you would be doing is companionship. Being in a nursing home and going through hospice can be rough. It allows cheers our patients up when they can just sit and talk, or even play a game. Please let us know if you are interested. It would greatly help, not only CIMA, but also the patient.
In order to get started there are a few steps that we have to take. A background check must be completed, and a TB test needs to be done. We do complimentary TB tests here in the offices, so don't worry about having to go to a doctor to get one. After the background check and TB test clears, we do a quick orientation and training and then you will be good to go! The process takes at most one week.
If you are interested in volunteering, or what to get more information please contact Anika Lee! Her contact information is below

Mission Statement
Cima Hospice enables people to live fully and comfortably, while coping with a terminal illness through a holistic, interdisciplinary team approach, that also supports the family and develops an informed caring community.
Description
Cima Hospice was founded in 2006 by two Texas entrepreneurs. Since then, it has grown to 10 agencies providing compassionate end-of-life care serving Texas in San Antonio, New Braunfels/Seguin/San Marcos, McAllen/Rio Grande Valley, El Paso, Tyler/Longview, Texarkana, Houston, and Corpus Christi and serving Oklahoma in Sallisaw, Poteau, Muskogee, Tulsa, and Pryor.
In October of 2011, Jordan Health Services and Cima Hospice came together to provide a continuum of quality home care by combining their home health services, community/provider services and hospice services. This coming together created 40 locations serving close to 15,000 patient/clients daily throughout the state of Texas and Arkansas.
In October of 2013, Jordan and Cima joined forces with Healthcare Innovations Private Services, the largest provider of Medicaid home health services in the state of Oklahoma including three additional hospice locations in Sallisaw, Poteau and Muskogee. Jordan acquired PrimeCare Home Health, a leading home health services provider based in Louisiana with locations in Hammond, Baton Rouge, Monroe, Ruston, and Columbia, in December of 2014.
Together companies each day will fulfill the personal care, case management, skilled nursing, pediatric, and hospice needs of approximately 26,000 patients in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana.
