MartyT Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 The following comes to us from Susan Levine, Executive Director of Hospice of the Valley: Springtime inspires renewal. Here are some opportunities at Hospice of the Valley to help renew others by volunteering, to renew yourself by playing in a benefit golf tournament, and to renew the environment by taking your unneeded documents to a paper-shredding fundraiser. Volunteers needed for expanding programs As Hospice of the Valley continues to grow and offer more diversified services, we have more opportunities for volunteers to make a difference in their community. Some of our newer programs in need of volunteers include our Hispanic Community Program, the Kivel-HOV Jewish Hospice Partnership, the HOV Salutes veteran recognition program, and our Outreach program which provides assistance to adults and children with serious and chronic illnesses. For more information about these and other opportunities, click here.

Journey of grief recovery shared in magazine article Finding a safe, supportive environment where he could be himself was the first milestone of Lloyd Shipe's healing journey after his partner of 33 years died. That environment was HOV's Healing Rainbows grief support group, which serves the LGBT community. Shipe's journey with HOV is featured in the March 17th edition of ECHO magazine.
