- The Chaplaincy Program at Franklin Memorial Hospital welcomed its newest volunteer, Linda Fournier of Jay, in a ceremony at the hospital chapel July 9. Fournier joins 10 other trained volunteers who visit with patients and family members weekly under the direction of hospital staff chaplains. To qualify, Fournier completed a 100-hour training program of instruction and supervised visiting, under the direction of staff chaplains the Revs. Douglas Allan Dunlap and Tim Walmer, at left. The chaplaincy volunteer training includes studies on topics such as ethics, religious traditions, communications skills, prayer with patients, family support, and supervised visiting. Fournier brings to the chaplaincy program prior experience as a licensed social worker and in serving people with disabilities and those in hospice care.
