WEBINAR DETAILS

Conversations with new hospice volunteer managers demonstrate that many have similar questions and challenges. The second webinar of this series will focus on maneuvering through the Medicare regulations. It will also cover the top 10 frequently asked questions, such as, “What policies and procedures do I need?” “What are the contents of a volunteer file?” “Can I use professional volunteers?” “How long should volunteer training be?” “What counts (and does not count) towards the 5% and why?” Of course, no conversation about challenges is complete without discussing solutions and opportunities!
