Dear Patient Care Giver:
Patrick Voelkel was a committed volunteer for Hospice of the Chesapeake since November of 2004.
Hospice of the Chesapeake provides care for terminally ill patients and their families on an on-call basis, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week through the efforts of an interdisciplinary team. Upon completion of an extensive 21-hour training program, Patrick became part of this team and has been expected to professionally represent our mission. With the utmost compassion and understanding in sensitive circumstances, he has given respite for numerous care givers.
Not only has Patrick been a committed patient care volunteer, he has also served Hospice of the Chesapeake in programs involving bereaved families and children after a significant loss.
As a reliable, faithful volunteer Patrick has always received excellent evaluations, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him as a companion to any family needing support in caring for their loved one.
Sincerely,
Kathy Bourgard
Director of Volunteers
