April 11, 2023 (Jacksonville, Fla.) – April is National Volunteer Month, and Community Hospice & Palliative Care is dedicated to promoting and celebrating volunteerism. Volunteers are diverse and special members of the community, offering companionship and a listening ear to patients and family members.
Throughout the month, the volunteer department will be highlighting individual volunteers and their stories through social media channels. A volunteer appreciation celebration will be held at The University of North Florida, where attendees will enjoy a luncheon with a message of appreciation from our leadership team. “Volunteers make up a vital contribution to the ongoing operations of Community Hospice & Palliative Care. In 2022, volunteers provided a cost savings of $1.2 million to our organization with 36,341 service hours. The skills and talents of volunteers serve the social, emotional, and spiritual needs of our patients and provide welcomed clerical support for our departments,” said Dan Batty, Manager of Volunteer Services. “Whether it is pet therapy, music, art, making a heart pillow or quilt, or pinning a veteran, our volunteers serve in many diverse ways.” Community Hospice & Palliative Care has over 500 volunteers who bring their many talents and educational backgrounds to help make a difference in the community.
