HOSPICE OF GARRETT COUNTY SEEKS VOLUNTEERS TO ASSIST WITH

“Check-In Tuck-In Call Program”

Spring 2019

Even though patients and their caregivers know that hospice staff is available 24/7,the “Tuck-In” telephone program was established to assure that patients andfamilies have the supplies and any additional support that they need on hand asthe weekend approaches. It allows for community members who are unable toparticipate in patient visits, still contribute a huge support in our patient volunteerprogram.

Each week a designated volunteer calls our hospice families to assure supplies andmedicines are on hand before the weekend and to check on the general status ofthe patient and family and provide support. A report is made to the staff andactions are taken as needed.

Just recently unveiled, these are just some of the responses we have received fromour patients and families participating in this newly unveiled program:

“So nice to talk with someone that is so very caring and supportive!”“It is so nice to know there is yet another layer of support if I would need something.”“Hospice is just wonderful by adding this extra support program.”

As hospice volunteers, we have the opportunity to do sacred work. We have animmense privilege of journeying alongside our patients and their families. Foranyone that might be interested in assisting in the “Tuck-In”program or for moreinformation on our volunteer opportunities, please contact Debbie Workman at301.334.5151 or 301.616.4873.
