Awards were created
to recognize hospice
volunteers who best
reflect the universal
concept of volunteerism
in its truest sense...
"Volunteers play an integral role in hospice care and
each and every one deserves recognition and the highest
accolades. From direct patient support and caregiver
relief to board service and community outreach and
education, hospice volunteers selflessly give of their time
to serve patients and families who are facing end-of-life
challenges and are integral to the hospice programs for
which they serve," said J. Donald Schumacher, NHPCO
president and CEO.
The awards were presented by NCHPP Chair Rex Allen
and NCHPP Vice-Chair Sandi Huster who also serves as
the section leader for the Volunteer/Volunteer
Management Section.
