The heart of any Hospice is truly the volunteers who give unselfishly of their time and talent.  While many of our volunteers are family members or friends of patients, all of them are citizens of our community who share a common bond; a desire to help provide the terminally ill comfort and compassion during their final days, and give respite to family caregivers.   The date and times of the next training classes are listed below; all are conducted at our Silverdale office, 3100 Bucklin Hill Road, Suite #205.  Attendance at all classes is required.  If you have questions or wish to enroll, call our office at 360-698-4611, or e-mail home@hospicekc.org.
