Cornerstone Hospice offers volunteer training

Cornerstone Hospice and Palliative Care invites Orlando and Kissimmee-area residents to volunteer to help patients throughout Orange and Osceola counties. 

Cornerstone Hospice volunteers may help by visiting with a patient at an assisted living facility or a home while a caregiver runs errands. The volunteers may also walk a patient’s dog, honor a fellow veteran or be a greeter at the inpatient hospice unit.

All Cornerstone Hospice volunteers must go through training and will be subject to a background check. A training session will be on Saturday, Aug. 12, from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m., at 52 W. Underwood Street (Inside Orlando Regional Medical Center, 2nd Floor, South Tower).

Lunch and refreshments will be provided. Interested volunteers must register in advance by contacting volunteer specialist Kayla Lopes at 407-514-8205 or by emailing klopes@cshospice.org.

Cornerstone Hospice and Palliative Care is accredited with the National Institute for Jewish Hospice.
