McLeod Hospice offers training for Clarendon and Sumter volunteers

Persons interested in helping hospice patients and/or assisting hospice support staff in Clarendon and Sumter counties are encouraged to attend Hospice Volunteering 101 being offered by McLeod Hospice.

The volunteer training program will be held Tuesday, July 27, from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. in the Volunteer Services Office at McLeod Health Clarendon.

Attendees must register in advance.
