January 20 training in Elizabethtown invites community members to support patients and families
A new year is a natural time to reflect on what matters most. Hosparus Health Central Kentucky is inviting community members to begin 2026 by serving neighbors facing serious illness. The nonprofit hospice and palliative care organization will host a free patient and family support volunteer training on Tuesday, January 20, 2026, from 1 to 5 p.m. (ET) at Hosparus Health Central Kentucky, 105 Diecks Drive, Elizabethtown.
This training is designed for individuals interested in providing ongoing companionship, emotional support, and respite care to patients and families. Volunteers who complete training will join a team serving Hardin, Grayson, LaRue, Meade, and Breckinridge counties, often in or near their own communities.
“Volunteering is a powerful way to begin the year with purpose,” said Annette Jones, Volunteer Manager. “When you give your time to patients and families during difficult moments, you’re offering reassurance, dignity, and human connection when it’s needed most.”
Those interested must apply at hosparushealth.org/volunteers and complete brief online training modules prior to the in-person session. Additional requirements include a background check, flu vaccination, and TB testing, all provided by Hosparus Health.
Volunteers are also needed at the Hosparus Health Thrift Shoppe in Elizabethtown. For questions or more information about volunteer opportunities, contact Annette Jones at 270.304.2330 or ajones@hosparus.org.
