Hospice Volunteer Spotlight!! Meet Hospice Volunteer DJ Novgrod!
DJ has been volunteering with Hospice at our coastal office for one year. Her first experience with hospice was when her partner’s grandmother entered hospice. It changed her whole outlook on death. Her neighbor was their hospice nurse.
When DJ retired from selling real estate, she knew she wanted to work with Samaritan Evergreen Hospice. “I took the training. It was a new ministry for me. Having lived in the community since 1986 and selling real estate here for 30 years, I know a lot of people. I see my service as aiding the family members in this process as a listener, respite giver and helper.” – DJ shared with us.
As our community ages, DJ find herself helping others in various ways, giving rides, meals, picking up supplies for people. “Hospice is another avenue of being of service.” – DJ also shares.
Thank you, DJ, for volunteering for Samaritan Evergreen Hospice and helping those in need at end-of-life.
If you, or you know someone who is interested in becoming a hospice volunteer, please give us a call. Our coastal office 541-574-1811 or our valley office at 541-812-4677.
