Sorry to invade in this thread -
but you work in Hospice, Chewie? What is your role? I would LOVE to talk to you about your Hospice work!
Libby - welcome here! We will love to hear all about your views, experiences and life
I used to do a lot of biz trips to Oklahoma and found everyone extremely friendly - due to that, I will never forget Oklahoma
Hey there, Gemma!
My role/title in our office is Volunteer Coordinator.
My primary tasks are to:
1) Evaluate the needs and desires of volunteers for hospice patients and their caregivers
2) Recruit and train volunteers to meet the needs of our patients and their caregivers
3) Give speeches to organizations, schools, etc. about hospice
4) Provide support to our Spiritual Care Coordinator (Combo Chaplain and Bereavement Coordinator)
5) Provide support to our staff in their time of grief
That is what it says on paper...my actual job is much more than that.
The hospice I work for has offices in OKC, Tulsa, Tahlequah, Bartlesville and Enid - so we cover a large portion of the state. We also have 16 home health offices statewide - that we can use as satelite offices for meetings etc.
If you take OKC and draw a circle 50 miles out in any direction - that is where I go
Right now - I visit as far south as Goldsby/Norman, West to Yukon, East to Harrah and North to Guthrie and everywhere in between - so not quite the full 50 mile radius.
I would be more than happy to talk to you about Hospice and answer any questions you may have...if I can't - I work with a great team and I can probably find you an answer.
