Become a Memoir Maker!
The Visiting Nurse Association of Southeast Michigan’s hospice program is giving the gift of a lifetime to its patients through a new legacy program entitled “Life Review.” Modeled after successful programs at the Hospice of the Florida Suncoast, Mid-Michigan Hospice in Midland, and Sparrow Hospital’s hospice program in Lansing, Mich., the project will use volunteers to document a lifetime of memories for patients to give to their loved ones.

The program needs volunteers, ages 18 and older, to interview patients, document their stories and create a written or pictorial memoir. Volunteers are also needed to offer comfort and support to hospice patients and their families in Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, Monroe, Livingston and Washtenaw counties.

For more information, call the VNA Volunteer Services Coordinator at (248) 967-8361or e-mail vna@vna.org.
