Volunteer Assistance Program

Dear Gove County Residents,

We are thrilled to announce a FREE new service offered by the Gove County Health Department designed to bring companionship and assistance to those in our community who need it most. Introducing our Volunteer Companionship Program, available to all adults over the age of 18 residing in Gove County.

Our Volunteer Companionship Program aims to support individuals in our community who may be in need of companionship, assistance, or are facing challenges due to disability or age. We believe that fostering connections and lending a helping hand can truly make a difference in people’s lives.

Here’s how it works:

Initial Assessment: A compassionate nurse from the Gove County Health Department will conduct an initial visit with the individual in need to assess their specific requirements and determine the services needed.

Personalized Support: Based on the assessment, a dedicated volunteer will be carefully selected to provide companionship and assistance tailored to the recipient’s needs. Whether it’s spending quality time together, offering a helping hand with daily tasks, or simply being there to listen and support, our volunteers are here to make a positive impact.

Flexible Scheduling: Volunteers will work with the recipient and their family to establish a schedule that suits everyone involved. Whether it’s a regular visit or occasional check-ins, we’re committed to accommodating the unique needs and preferences of each individual.

We believe that by coming together as a community, we can create a network of support and companionship that enriches the lives of all involved. If you or someone you know could benefit from our Volunteer Companionship Program, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.

To learn more or to sign up as a volunteer, please contact Amy Teeter or Brenda Orr or visit the Gove County Health Department at 521 Garfield Street, Quinter Ks or you can email [email protected] 

Together, let’s make a difference in the lives of our neighbors and friends in Gove County.
