Some of the greatest needs for hospice families come with the least amount of notice. In these situations, hospice volunteers are critical to helping the hospice team to best serve the patient and family. In 1994, Hospice of the Hills asked patient care volunteers if they would be willing to participate in an on-call volunteer program. The program has been a great success and has received accolades from hospice families, medical staff, the state volunteer association, and a salute from the local daily newspaper.
临终关怀患者的家庭有时会在毫无预兆的情况下出现一些最迫切的需求。在这些情况下,临终关怀志愿者对于帮助临终关怀团队为患者及其家庭提供最佳服务至关重要。1994年,希尔斯临终关怀机构询问患者护理志愿者是否愿意参与随叫随到的志愿者项目。该项目取得了巨大成功,受到了临终关怀患者家庭、医务人员、州志愿者协会的赞誉,还得到了当地日报的赞扬。
