For Hub City Times

WAUSAU — Hospice is about living each day to the fullest and helping individuals dying of terminal illness live in a pain-free environment with dignity and peace.

Ministry Home Care-Hospice Services is offering a free, comprehensive training course for individuals who are interested in becoming hospice volunteers. Volunteers are assigned to roles dependent on their individual interests and abilities, as well as availability.

Ministry Home Care-Hospice Services is currently in need of front desk and kitchen help at the House of the Dove in Marshfield. This is about a two-hour commitment per shift. In addition, there is a growing need for patient support volunteers in the Ministry service area, which includes the surrounding communities of Wisconsin Rapids and Marshfield from north to Thorp and south to Coloma/Hancock. People who sew are also sought in the Marshfield area for the Memory Bear Program.

After completing training, approved patient support volunteers are assigned based on patient need. The frequency and duration of patient specific assignments vary according to case specifics. This service allows for flexibility and personal growth.

Personal training and ongoing support for all volunteer positions will be provided. Two sessions will be held in the first floor conference room at the Ministry Home Care-Hospice office at 303 W. Upham St. in Marshfield.

—Session 1: Tuesdays, Feb. 21 – March 14, from 3-5 p.m.

—Session 2: Tuesdays, March 21 – April 11, from 5-7 p.m.

A third session will be offered in two locations: Tuesdays, April 18 – May 9, from 2-4 p.m. at the Neillsville Retirement Community or Clark County Health Care Facility in Owen, room locations to be determined.

These sessions are free, and materials are provided. Registration is required. For more information call 800-397-4216, and ask for Deb Hickey or Jen Masephol. Hickey or Masephol can also be reached via email at Deborah.Hickey@ahah.net or Jennifer.Masephol@ahah.net, respectively.
