Trainings offered to volunteers

By Angela Fields, Volunteer Services Supervisor

Elder Services is committed to providing volunteers with useful information regarding their varied positions. On March 26, Nancy Judson, RN Elder Services, presented an informational seminar and training on Universal Health Precautions. The session was well attended and was followed by an interesting and open discussion.

The next educational seminar, scheduled in June, will feature Susan Geary,

Protective Services Supervisor. Geary will give participants an overview of this vital program.
