Hospice is end-of-life care for those who are terminally ill and their families. Hospice care focuses on the patient’s quality of life instead of trying to cure a disease. Managing editor Tami Roleff and her therapy dog Surfer made visits to hospice patients for many years. She says Hi-Desert Hospice is recruiting volunteers to make short visits with patients… Hi-Desert Hospice is recruiting volunteers and certified therapy animals to visit patients. Volunteers provide respite for the patients’ caregivers, or simply spend time visiting the patients. If you have a desire to make a difference in the lives of the terminally ill and their families, you are invited to an open house on September 5, from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. at 6601 White Feather Road, Suite A5 in Joshua Tree. For more information, call 760-366-6427.
