Hospice Program Seeking Volunteers!!
The Haven Hospice Program at JFK Medical Center is opening its doors to people who are willing to donate their time.
When: The hospice program personnel, who serve Middlesex, Monmouth, Somerset and Union Counties, will host an Open House for potential volunteers on Wednesday evening, February 3rd, at 6:00pm.
Where: The event will be held in the third floor conference room at JFK Medical Center at 80 James Street in Edison.
Haven Hospice is looking for volunteers over the age of 18, of all different backgrounds and abilities. Opportunities include home visitation, nursing home and hospital visitation, office support, transportation, hair styling, massage, Reiki and musicians. We are also in need of bilingual volunteers to be of assistance to our Indian, Asian and Hispanic population. Volunteers must complete a six week training program in order to work at the hospice.
Haven Hospice provides care for patients and families who are experiencing a terminal illness and includes medical, emotional, psychological and spiritual support along with 24 hour staff availability. The hospice also runs a children's program which focuses on the emotional needs of children ages 3-18 years who are either coping with an illness or the loss of a loved one.
The training sessions will be held on Wednesdays starting February 24th, 2010 at 6;00pm. Sessions run for 6 weeks.
Please RSVP if you plan to attend the open house by calling Maryanne Spencer at 732-321-7769.
JFK Medical Center H1N1 Vaccine Clinics a Success
JFK Medical Center in partnership with Edison Township and Plainfield health departments held four H1N1 vaccine clinics on both the JFK Campus and the JFK-Muhlenberg Campus. These clinics administered a total of 2,625 vaccines to community members who desired the vaccination.
JFK Medical Center is proud that our partnership with both Edison and Plainfield on this important health matter was accomplished with speed, quality and a commitment to excellence. These clinics continue our mission to provide quality and compassionate healthcare services to our diverse communities.
