Evangelical Community Hospital seeks spiritual care volunteers

LEWISBURG — Evangelical Community Hospital, 1 Hospital Drive, is seeking spiritual care volunteers, which are an extension of the Spiritual Care Dept.

Spiritual care volunteers are asked to engage in conversation with patients to learn how they might support them within their belief system, support the the healing process through an emotional and spiritual guidance and support the on-site hospital chaplain with patient visits.

No experience is necessary.

Volunteers also may serve on the No One Dies Alone team, a service that provides comfort and compassion to the patient at the end of life when family members are not able to be present.

For those interested, special training sessions are scheduled for 9-11:30 a.m. April 4, 11, 18 and 25, in the HR conference room on the third floor of the professional office building. Attendance is required at each session.
