I recently joined Hospice Services of Lake County as the new volunteer coordinator.  

I am excited to be able to offer my talents and enthusiasm to the community in this role and to further my experiences of the good works of our local hospice.

Volunteers for the patient-family support and bereavement programs are eagerly needed.

Anyone who has thought of offering her or his time and talents to people in need can attend a short series of trainings that Hospice is teaching later this month.

This will be my first orientation and training and I like to get new ideas from new volunteers as to how we can better serve our community.

Anyone may contact me to discuss or share ideas at 707-263-6270, Extension 136.

Hedy Montoya is volunteer coordinator with Hospice Services of Lake County, based in Lakeport, Calif.
