Volunteer training is required for hospice volunteers wishing to volunteer with patients and families, in our administrative offices, or at Kansas City Hospice House, NorthCare Hospice House, or Solace House. Training covers things such as hospice history and philosophy, emotional and spiritual needs of patients and families, communication skills, patient care and comfort, grief and loss, and volunteer roles and responsibilities.
- Training for hospice volunteers is done virtually at this time and takes about 15 hours.
- Training for grief support volunteers is done in person at Solace House.
- Special event volunteers are trained individually specific to the task.
