 Wilton, Maine 2/7/12 - "When I became a volunteer, I never realized what a big impact it w ould have on my life," stated Bob Oliver, a Visiting Volunteer with Androscoggin Home Care & Hospice. "I started to look at life through the eyes of the caregiver and patient. I then realized just how much a couple of hours of my time were worth to someone else. I love this work."

The training class will focus on volunteer opportunities that support patients receiving home care services as they recover from illness, surgery or a new medical condition, according to Kathy Baillargeon, Volunteer Supervisor. Visiting Volunteers provide companionship and share in activities such as reading, card games or music.
The 4-hour training class will be held in Wilton on Tuesday, March 6th from 12:00-4:00pm at Androscoggin Home Care & Hospice's Office at 284 Main Street in downtown Wilton.
All volunteers are valued members of the health care team, and are matched with patients in or near their communities. Pre-registration is required for the classes. For more information, contact Volunteer Services at 795-9580 or 1-800-482-7412 ext. 1280. |
