This week I'm off to Halifax Health Hospice! This visit is an important one, mainly because I was able to schedule to have the outreach coordinator from each center meet over at the main care center in Port Orange. Unfortunately, Heather wasn't able to be in the office this week at the last minute. Day of the site visit, I was in the office. I noticed that Savannah wasn't back from her meeting, and I popped into Kevin's office. He informed me that he'd be heading over with Savannah and I as soon as she got back from her meeting, which was running a bit longer than expected. The site visit was at 2, and as 1:30 approached, I asked Kevin if we were going to head out soon, because the main care center is in Port Orange. Not realizing that Kevin hadn't seen the address on the calendar invite, he had been thinking that we were just going to the West Volusia center in Orange City...
Oopsie.
No problem though! I got in contact with the center, let them know that we'd be... you know, a few minutes late... Usually, Heather or Savannah are able to provide a folder with more information, but Kevin and I were only able to access the manual. We got this! And with that, Kevin and I headed out to Port Orange! I was a bit nervous because Savannah and Heather have been leading the visits in regards to getting the ball rolling, but Kevin put his confidence in me and had me take the lead on this one. Presenting in front of 5 people was pretty nerve-wracking, but it went really well! We brought up some great ideas, like involving the Stetson Student Veterans Organization with their veteran program. They also need some immediate help to prepare for their big seasonal events, so if you're interested in some extra volunteer work before the semester begins, let me know!
