Please complete the last page (Authorization and Release for the Procurement of a Consumer and/or Investigative Consumer Report) and return this form with your application. Do not send in a check with this form; WV Caring pays all fees. The purpose of this form is to allow us to conduct a criminal history check. West Virginia does not check consumer information.

Training in the grief process and communication skills prepares you to offer support to those who attend Camp Caring.

WV CARING ADVOCATES FOR THE BEST CARE POSSIBLE
In 1983, a group of volunteers in Preston County understood that people living with life limiting illnesses needed care. Their tireless work led to hiring WV Caring’s first paid employee and Founding President, Ms. Malene Smith Davis. And, under her leadership she led the expansion of care into eleven more counties for WV Caring, formerly Hospice Care Corporation, to become one of the oldest and largest non-profit hospices in West Virginia. Her trail-blazing work coincided with America’s leading policymakers more than 35 years ago ensuring that West Virginians received hospice care through the Medicare Hospice Benefit.
Today, as WV Caring’s Founding President, and Chief Visionary Officer Malene is known nationally for her work in advocating for excellent end-of-life care.
