In 2020, Covid-19 greatly affected the volunteer component of care offered by Traditions Health Hospice of Glen Allen, formerly known as Hospice Community Care. Many facilities in our area where our patients live in assisted living facilities and nursing homes and are opening up to visits by volunteers for their residents. If you want to volunteer with hospice but not sure you are ready to visit in a facility, we have the perfect solution; you can volunteer with Traditions Health as a Pen Pal!
Requirements:
You will need to have a dependable vehicle or have the ability to access public transportation as all of your work will be done in our Glen Allen office. You will learn about hospice philosophy. We will provide all the materials you will need to share joy with our patients. You must be vaccinated against Covid in accordance with a recent ruling by the Supreme Court regarding health organizations that receive Medicare funds. We are asking that each Pen Pal volunteer donates five hours of their time a week.
