Hello high school students in the Contra Costa and Solano Counties area. We are looking to offer you an opportunity to contribute to the the care and compassion we provide hospice patients and their families on our care. Although this is a very hands off and no contact opportunity, we have been able to show our patients how much the community cares by crafting cards, arranging flowers and many other crafting ideas. We would like to learn what you feel you can contribute with and are open to new ideas. This is a great way for you to learn more about end of life and how to show empathy for those who are at this phase in life and their families as well. While contributing your time and crafts, volunteer hours can be signed off by the program coordinator for school or a program which you participate in.
To learn more, please contact Jorge DePaz at jorge.depaz@sutterhealth.org and please include you patent/guardian in the correspondence.

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.
