We asked Colchester East Hants Hospice Society volunteer Keltie Bruce: Why is Hospice important to you?
"Hospice has added an important level of care available to patients and their families that many communities do not have access to. As a hospital visitor I see this regularly. Families are so appreciative of the services provided on a journey that is always stressful and sometimes lonely. It is a privilege to be able to help during that journey.
The care and professionalism exhibited by the staff on all levels is remarkable. As the Society grows I hope that more and more people will access the varied programs offered and that Hospice and palliative care will be more widely available everywhere."
Did you know ... the Hospice Society has Volunteer Training starting October 16th, 2019. We have an amazing team and we could use your help to better serve our community.
There are a number of ways to help... Please call us at (902) 893-3265 with any questions you may have and to find out more about all of our volunteer opportunities.
