NHDRThe Hospice Volunteer Association (HVA) has created this National Hospice Document Repository (NHDR) as a public service to the hospice community. This repository is one of the largest collections 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.
The following is a list of the categories of information included in the National Hospice Document Repository (NHDR):
