| INTERN OPPORTUNITY AT HOSPICE |
 |
Niagara Hospice has announced a summer internship opportunity for college students living in Eastern Niagara County. The paid internship is available through the Grigg Lewis Foundation’s Workership Program, now in its ninth year. The primary focus of the workerships is to provide financial assistance to area college students, to allow local institutions to expand their summer programming and to benefit the entire community by the expanded and improved programs of the agencies.
Students interested in applying for a workership position must be a college student who will be returning to his or her studies in the fall of 2010 or a high school graduate who has been accepted at an accredited college for fall 2010.
Available at Niagara Hospice is an Allied Health Intern position that will provide a student with career goals in the allied health care field with solid work experience by exposing the student to hospice services, with emphasis on office technology services and service coordination processes of the agency. The internship will complement classroom study in the areas of medical office procedures, communications, typing and information processing.
“We are extremely grateful to the Grigg Lewis Foundation for creating and supporting this program,” stated Patricia Degan, Niagara Hospice Director of Marketing and Public Relations. “We have had many qualified students spend their summers with us over the past nine years. Their enthusiasm and eagerness to learn have benefitted Niagara Hospice greatly; in fact we have hired, in some capacity, at least five of our interns upon graduation from college.”
Applicants for the Niagara Hospice position need not attend college in Niagara County. To apply, applicants are asked to email their resume and a cover letter to Stephen Schinnagel, Vice President of Hospice Services, at sschinnagel@niagarahospice.com.
Since serving its first patient in 1988, Niagara Hospice has served over 14,000 individuals as well as their immediate and extended families. Hospice is specialized care for the terminally ill that includes physical, emotional, spiritual and bereavement care for families. Hospice care is appropriate for any advanced stage illness, not just cancer, where the prognosis is a life expectancy of approximately six months or less.
