Healthcare Volunteer Process
The CanCare healthcare volunteer process ensures that our volunteers have the knowledge and skills to effectively provide emotional support to patients and caregivers. Here is an overview of the process:
- Comprehensive Training: All CanCare healthcare volunteers undergo a thorough training program that covers various aspects of providing emotional support to individuals affected by cancer. This training includes valuable information on communication techniques, active listening, respecting boundaries, and understanding the unique challenges brain cancer patients face.
- Hospital Orientation: In addition to CanCare's training program, volunteers also benefit from an orientation provided by the hospital or treatment center where they choose to volunteer. This orientation familiarizes volunteers with the facility's policies, procedures, and specific expectations for interacting with patients and caregivers.
- Shadowing Experienced Volunteers: New volunteers can shadow experienced hospital volunteers. By observing and learning from experienced volunteers, new healthcare volunteers gain confidence in supporting patients and caregivers. This shadowing period continues until the new volunteers feel comfortable and ready to support patients independently.
- Ongoing Support: CanCare understands the importance of ongoing support to our volunteers. We strive to maintain a consistent and rewarding schedule for each volunteer by offering continuous support, guidance, and resources. Our team is always available to address any questions or concerns that volunteers may have throughout their volunteer journey.
If you are interested in becoming a healthcare volunteer and making a positive impact in the lives of brain cancer patients and their families, we invite you to apply for the healthcare volunteer role in Houston, TX, or Atlanta, GA.
