Carlsbad CA— The Elizabeth Hospice will host its next patient care volunteer training on May 22 and 23 from 8:30am to 3:30pm at The Elizabeth Hospice Carlsbad office located at 5938 Priestly Drive, Carlsbad 92008. Volunteer training is free and open to the public and participants must attend both days.

Specialty volunteers who can assist with complementary therapies such as pet therapy, aromatherapy, music support and Reiki are in high demand. In addition, office and clerical support volunteers are needed at all of our office locations that include Temecula, Carlsbad, Escondido and San Diego (Mission Valley) and are not required to attend this two-day session.
