New Volunteer Coordinator

As HospiceCare has grown, so has our need for volunteers and the demands on staff has mirrored that growth. 

We are pleased to announce that Raeanne Cade has joined our staff and will take on the full-time role of Volunteer Coordinator.   Ms. Cade joins us from Loma Linda University Hospital in California where she managed a volunteer staff of almost 1800 volunteers.  Her experience in the field of developing new hospice services and programs for patients and their families will bring continued growth to our volunteer program.  Welcome, Raeanne!

For the past ten years, Barbara Cady has served as our Pat-time Volunteer Coordinator and has trained all of the volunteers who have supported the patients, families and programs of Florida Hospital HospiceCare.   She will now move into a new role as our part-time Volunteer Training Specialist and will continue to educate and orient those who are joining are volunteer team.  We commend Barbara on her years of service and know that the team of Cady and Cade will continue to enhance our fantastic volunteer program.

Congratulations & Kudos
