Paige Schmelzer joined Hospice of the Northwest as the new Volunteer Manager in July. She brings over 25 years of nonprofit and leadership experience to her, including many years working for animal welfare organizations in volunteer management, outreach, human resources, and as an Executive Director. Paige deeply values volunteer service, and has served on many local boards and as a volunteer for a number of community organizations. Paige was first introduced to hospice care when her grandparents were on service. “I appreciate the care the care and compassion the staff and volunteers give to our patients,” says Paige. “I am excited to lead the volunteers at hospice of the northwest to make a positive change in the community and support the volunteers in providing the care and compassion they provide to our patients.”
