Kindred Hospice located in Pullman, WA seeks individuals with good sewing skills to sew several hospital/patient type gowns for patients receiving hospice care. These gowns are given in the hospital and are helpful to patient and nurses when providing care. However, when someone resides in their own home or a private facility, these gowns are not available.
This is an ongoing need, but could also be individually crafted for a High School Senior Project.
Please contact Marcie Gilliland marcie.gilliand@gentiva.com for more information!

Mission Statement
To improve quality of life for those we serve through the delivery of clinical excellence, extraordinary service, and compassionate care, while being recognized as the leader in home health and hospice services.
Description
Hospice Care is designed to give supportive care to people in the final phase of a terminal illness and focus on comfort and quality of life, rather than cure. The goal is to enable patients to be comfortable and free of pain, so that they live each day as fully as possible. Aggressive methods of pain control may be used. Hospice programs generally are home-based, but they sometimes provide services away from home -- in freestanding facilities, in nursing homes, or within hospitals. The philosophy of hospice is to provide support for the patient's emotional, social, and spiritual needs as well as medical symptoms as part of treating the whole person.
