Sutter Care at Home-Sutter North Hospice is looking for compassionate individuals who are interested in volunteering with Sutter North Hospice. There are many opportunities to volunteer which include relieving a very tired caregiver, providing emotional support and companionship to the patient and/or caregiver, honoring our veterans, adult and child bereavement services - "Grief and Loss Groups", and volunteering in our office. Our office is located in Yuba City and we serve Yuba and Sutter Counties and portions of Butte, Placer and Plumas Counties. We also serve Colusa. No experience is required - we provide volunteers with thorough training and on-going support. The greatest gift you can offer is your time, your caring nature and your willingness to listen.
Volunteer Requirements: Volunteers receive 16 hours of initial training. Potential volunteers must complete a background check, a physical and drug screen which are all provided through Sutter Health. Our volunteers are required to receive or show verification of an annual flu shot and Tuberculin skin test or blood test, provide immunization records or titers showing immunity to MMR (measles, mumps and rubella), Varicella and show proof of TDAP (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis). Sutter Health will provide health screening and any necessary tests or vaccinations. A minimum of 2-4 hours of volunteering per week and a 1-2 year commitment is required. Volunteers are a vital and important part of our hospice team.

Mission Statement
Sutter Care at Home enhances the health and well being of the people in the communities we serve through a not-for-profit commitment to compassion and excellence in home-based services and products.
Description
To become a hospice volunteer at Sutter Care at Home the greatest gift you can offer is your time, your caring nature, and your willingness to listen. Training and ongoing support are provided to all volunteers, so experience is not required. It's a great opportunity to learn new skills and enhance existing ones. Volunteers are trained to enhance the overall goal of meeting the physical, emotional, spiritual and practical needs of hospice patients and their families.
Volunteers may stay with the patient to give the caregiver some time away or time to rest and they can be a caring companion and compassionate listener to both patients and families. While volunteers cannot provide clinical or personal care, they may be able to assist with routine tasks and errands.
Requirements: Volunteers receive 24 hours of training, health clearance and a background check, and attend monthly educational meetings. They must work closely with Volunteer Program Coordinator as members of the hospice team.
