Honoring the Heart of Pathways: Celebrating Our Volunteers’ Impact
From thousands of service hours to meaningful moments of care, Pathways Hospice volunteers continue to make a profound difference in the lives of patients and families
Last week, Pathways had the privilege of gathering together for our Volunteer Appreciation Brunch to celebrate the incredible volunteers who help make the mission of Pathways Hospice possible every day. While the brunch gave us a special opportunity to recognize and thank our volunteers in person, our gratitude for their service extends far beyond a single event. We appreciate and celebrate our volunteers each and every month for the compassion, comfort, and care they bring to patients, families, and our community.
This past year, 144 volunteers contributed:
To every volunteer: thank you for your commitment, generosity, and for walking alongside patients and families during some of life’s most meaningful moments.
We are deeply grateful for all you do and look forward to the future of Pathways together.
