Manager of Volunteer Services Wendi Geller has been with MorseLife Hospice and Palliative Care since its establishment. Collaborating with the interdisciplinary care team to determine which clients may benefit from engaging with volunteers, Wendi schedules volunteers who offer companionship and shared activities such as reading, listening to music and walks. Volunteers also offer short periods of much needed respite for caregivers. She leads volunteer recruitment, welcoming those willing to give their time, and arranges volunteers to assist in administrative duties. Wendi led the efforts to achieve Level Four in the We Honor Veterans Program. This partnership between the VA and NHPCO focuses on end-of-life care, while honoring veterans. Programs include pinning ceremonies, staff education and actively recruiting veterans to volunteer. Prior to joining MorseLife, Wendi led the volunteer program for the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Florida Atlantic University. She holds a bachelor’s degree from Indiana University.
