Per Facebook post: Over the past decade, the Missouri Hospice and Palliative Care Association has trained hundreds of residents of Missouri state prisons to become hospice volunteers, providing comfort and companionship to terminally ill peers. The newest group recently completed training at Farmington Correctional Center. Volunteers develop skills in helping with daily activities, practicing empathy and active listening, and learning to recognize and respond to patients’ spiritual and emotional needs.
