Orientation and Training Process

The Volunteer Department for Hospice of Huntington offers a comprehensive, three-day 24-hour volunteer training program. Many have called this a "life-changing experience." The training program prepares our volunteers to work in various areas of hospice services. Volunteers are taught a variety of communication skills to deal with patients and family members, and provide comfort care, in addition to the history and philosophy of Hospice of Huntington.

Following the training, volunteers who work with patients and families may volunteer a maximum of four hours per week. For other volunteers, the amount of time dedicated towards volunteering is unrestricted. We remain flexible, understanding that each of us may have professional and personal commitments which can impact time available for volunteering.

Hospice of Huntington is grateful for each and every volunteer who is so giving of his or her time to our organization. A great deal of personal work is involved in the training program, including knowing one's limits and acknowledging beliefs about death and dying. Office volunteers and others participate in an interview and brief orientation process and do not need to attend the 24-hour patient care volunteer training program.
