BY THE OBSERVER STAFF
Florida Hospital HospiceCare hosted its 2013 Volunteer Recognition Luncheon to honor nearly 200 volunteers last month, at Oceanside Country Club, 75 N. Halifax Dive.
Contributing a combined 15,000 hours of labor in 2012, the workers' efforts are valued at more than $325,000.
“While this cost savings was very important, our hospice volunteers' most important contribution was in their connection to patients and families, as well as the comfort and enhanced quality of life their service created,” Raeanne Cade, HospiceCare volunteer coordinator, said
