 The Hospice Volunteer Association (HVA) has created this National
Hospice Document Repository (NHDR) as a public service to the hospice community. This
repository is the largest collection of documents and articles relating to hospice and
end-of-life care in the world. Some of the ways that we hope this repository will assist the community are:
- providing a venue for hospice volunteer coordinators/managers to
share training materials, volunteer program descriptions, volunteer job descriptions,
outreach brochures, etc. with their colleagues.
- to inform hospice volunteer coordinators/managers about resources
available to them for making their jobs easier and assisting them in training their
volunteers.
- to share information relating to events, conferences, retreats and
workshops that would be of value and interest to the hospice volunteer community.
- to share articles and other types of information that would be of
interest to the hospice community.
If you would like to receive new document alerts or emails related to the HEAL Project, Hospice Volunteer Association, Hospice Volunteer Training Institute or Hannah's Friends, click here.
- A "Document" refers to an item that was submitted by someone or some organization
in the hospice community with the intent of sharing it for use by others. These are typically forms, policies,
training tools, chat logs etc.
- An "Article" refers to a collection of articles that have been collected by HVA from
various news sources around the world. This diverse collection covers topics from A to Z on hospice and
end-of-life care. These articles can be very useful training resources for
volunteer training programs. This section also has a built-in Google search feature.
Note that uploading documents is available to members only and requires that you be logged
in. If you are not logged in, you will be directed to the login page when you click the
Upload Document button. If you are not a member and wish to share a document, please e-mail your request
with a brief description of the document to the repository's
Document Custodian.
