LEWISTON — Androscoggin Home Healthcare & Hospice Volunteer Barbara Gavin of Turner received the Home Care & Hospice Alliance of Maine’s 2023 Volunteer of the Year Award on Nov. 14.
This award is presented to two outstanding volunteers (one in the home care setting and the other in the hospice setting) who support activities related to home care and/or hospice care.
The alliance hosted Maine’s home care and hospice community at the Blaine House to celebrate Home Care and Hospice Month and give thanks to staff and volunteers, according to a news release from the nonprofit organization.
“We came together to celebrate excellence in home care and hospice — both the outstanding staff and the selfless volunteers who profoundly impact the lives of our patients and their families,” said Laurie Belden, executive director, Home Care & Hospice Alliance of Maine.
The Home Care & Hospice Alliance of Maine is a nonprofit organization comprised of home care, home health care and hospice providers who work collaboratively to ensure Mainer’s with disabilities and older adults have access to affordable, accessible quality care in the comfort and safety of their own home and community.
