are four areas with different classifications within those areas.

who wants to volunteer but desires no direct patient contact. They will
provide administrative support in the office setting. Enhanced skill set can lead to a Patient Care Representative volunteer.
II. Patient Care Rep - Enhanced communications skill set necessary for this specialized volunteer opportunity.
III. Patient Care Volunteer - a person
who wants to volunteer directly with patients, whether it is in the
patient's own home, primary care giver's home, assisted living home,

who wants to support the Bereavement Department. The Bereavement Volunteer must have Patient Care Training and experience.
