The Hospice Volunteer Association (HVA) created the National
Hospice Document Repository (NHDR) as a public service to the hospice community.
Some of the ways that this repository assists the community at large 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 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.
Using the NHDR is now much easier. We have made it very easy for members of the
hospice community to upload documents they wish to share. You can now perform searches
for documents in the repository using key words.
You can download hundreds of hospice-related documents for free! This repository
is the largest free source of hospice-related information in the world.
