Hospice of Lake Cumberland provides comfort and support during life’s most challenging times, not only to patients, but to their families as well. Helping people is the Hospice mission. Euretha Godby, Executive Director of Hospice, and Robin Tarter, Hospice Board of Directors, believed a way to help Hospice patient caregivers would be to help them schedule a COVID vaccine, so developed a vaccination program.
Finding an appointment for a vaccine can be a test of will for even the most patient and technologically sophisticated. Searching for these appointments takes a great deal of time and effort, and it was clear that volunteers would be needed. With the help of Melissa Winstead, Student Ambassador Coordinator at SCC, volunteers were found.
