Chaplain Theresa Hamilton is new volunteer coordinator at Comfort Care Hospice

Cameron Regional Medical Center’s Comfort Care Hospice (CCH) is pleased to announce that Theresa Hamilton is the new volunteer coordinator. The new position is in addition to her role as chaplain, a position she’s held for the past two years. Becca Neuhalfen previously served in the coordinator role, and will continue to provide support as a social worker.
In addition to hospice, Theresa and her husband Pastor Russ have served Cameron First Christian Church for four years. Previously, the Hamiltons were at Gallatin First Christian Church for 12 years. They will soon celebrate 30 years of marriage and have three adult children and six grandchildren.
Mrs. Hamilton has a degree in journalism and enjoys reading, writing, and graphic design; she just published her first gratitude journal. She describes herself as “a life-long learner” who completed her religious education later in life.
“I’m blessed to be serving in two important roles at Comfort Care Hospice with an amazing team of compassionate caregivers,” says Hamilton. “I look forward to working with our current volunteers and I encourage others to consider getting involved.”
Becoming a hospice volunteer is a process that involves training and some paperwork; however, the opportunity to provide compassionate care and support to people in need is priceless.
Hospice volunteers can help in many ways, including providing supportive services by in-person visits, phone calls, sending cards, sharing hobbies, assisting with errands, homemaking tasks, and clerical services.
“Though COVID-19 restrictions and policies are a challenge at this time, we are working as a team to find safe and creative ways to continue supporting our patients,” says CCH Director Dominique Clark.
Comfort Care Hospice serves 10 counties in Northwest Missouri: Andrew, Buchanan, Caldwell, Clinton, Daviess, DeKalb, Gentry, Harrison, Livingston, and Ray Counties. Palliative care is also now available. For more information about hospice, palliative care, or becoming a volunteer, please contact Comfort Care Hospice at (816) 632-4411.
