Medina, Ohio, August 15, 2012 – Time is a precious commodity. HMC Barberton Hospice & Palliative Care understands that work, family and friends take up much of your time. However, we’d like to challenge you to find just an hour or two a month for one more very important cause . . . the terminally ill patients and their families living in your community.

HMC Barberton Hospice & Palliative Care is in need of honest, dedicated men, women, mothers, fathers, secretaries, plumbers, mechanics, grocery clerks, bus drivers, etc. Simply put, we’re looking for good people to give a little time to make a big difference for others.  Here are just a few ways we could use your special talents or interests:

• Support a fellow veteran by giving time as a “We Honor Veterans” volunteer. Listen and share military stories. Participate in pinning ceremonies.
• Provide invaluable office assistance with your organizational skills. Assemble new patient packets, help with mailings and assist with data entry.
• Visit with patients and their families, run errands, prepare meals, stay with patients so family members can enjoy much needed rest.
