Horn Hospice to Offer a Hospice Volunteer Training

Horn Hospice defines its role as a “special kind of care; bringing comfort, support, and compassion to the terminally ill and their families.” The Horn Hospice program is designed to meet the physical, emotional, spiritual and economical needs of each individual.  At this time we are looking for caring people to join our team of volunteers to use their wonderful talents and skills to help people when they need it most.

Interested individuals must attend the eight scheduled training classes to receive the Hospice Volunteer Certificate in order to qualify to be a Horn Hospice Volunteer. The training will teach individuals about the hospice philosophy, purpose and goals, concepts on death and dying, communication, personal care, and the grieving process. 

Volunteer training has been set for Tuesdays and Thursdays beginning March 15th and going through April 7 from 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Horn Memorial Conference Center.

If you are interested in joining our Hospice Volunteer Team or have questions, please call the Horn Hospice office at 712.364.7311.   Questions can be directed to Cindy Mildenstein, RN, Hospice Director, or Nancy Schoen, Hospice Volunteer Coordinator
