Hospice Volunteers are vital to hospice, the patients and families they serve. Our hospice program provides specialized professional care to people faced with the terminal phase of any illness. Hospice Volunteers receive a comprehensive training to prepare them to assist families by providing emotional support, relief for care givers, practical support, running errands, and overall, helping to make a very difficult time in people's lives a little easier.
Because hospice provides care where patients reside, volunteers need to have reliable transportation. UC Davis cares for patients throughout Sacramento County, as well as areas of Yolo County, Placer County, and El Dorado County. Volunteers are needed in all these locations.
If you have a heart for service and want to lend your time UC Davis Hospice, we would love to have you as a member of our Volunteer team. We offer FREE volunteer training and you can learn more about the next training through our partnering organization , the Sacramento Hospice Consortium. The training schedule can be found at sachospice.org and you can even register for the training on line!
We look forward to having you as a member of our hospice team!

Mission Statement
For over 35 years, UC Davis Hospice Program provides care for terminally ill patients. It is not a place, but rather an approach to health care emphasizing symptom management while helping patients and families to cope with psychosocial and spiritual issues which accompany the dying process.
Description
Hospice care is provided by physician-directed teams of nurses, social workers, home health aides, chaplains, therapists, volunteers, and bereavement coordinators who are sensitive to the local population's cultural and lifestyle diversity. Volunteers become an important part of the team, with the ability to attend rounds and care for patients as well as their families.
