Volunteers undertake a training program to learn how to provide caregiver respite, companionship, or transportation for local errands or appointments, to Hospice patients who reside in Broward County.
Volunteers do no medical care and are assigned to assist families within their own neighborhoods.
Training sessions are held throughout the year, with one being conducted in the Fort Lauderdale area scheduled to begin on October 17. For more information, call Helen Danziger at 416-5040. The Pompano Golda Meir Chapter of Hadassah is sponsoring theater parties at the Coconut Grove Playhouse to performances of Master Class with Elizabeth Ashley on November 12, The Price by Arthur Miller on January 21, and Broadway Bound with Linda Lavin on March 4. Those who complete the course may be eligible for a state-mandated discount for three years in their insurance premiums. More information is available by calling 427-9901.
