title: Volunteer hospice programs. A valuable asset to the hospice community.
abstract: Communities that wish to offer full and comprehensive support to those facing death will benefit from having both medical and volunteer hospice programs. Volunteer hospices, which rely totally on community contributions of time and money, must be especially attentive to volunteer's needs for training, support, and recognition.
