Do you have a passion for education, and personal or professional experience with end-of-life issues?
Become a Community Ambassador with Mission Hospice & Home Care!
You'll help others learn about end-of-life issues and empower them to take charge of care - for themselves and loved ones - long before hospice is needed. Community ambassadors support events, presentations, and workshops throughout San Mateo County and northern Santa Clara County.
We'll teach you more about Mission Hospice & Home Care's programs and services, how to use your passion to support community awareness of end-of-life issues, and create next steps for your volunteer path. (An application and interview are required before beginning training.)
Our community Ambassadors come from all walks of life, retired medical professionals, working folks with a passion for education, or end of life education, people who received hospice care and wish they had known more about it before a loved one is ill...

Mission Statement
Mission Hospice & Home Care is a nonprofit organization whose professional staff and well-trained volunteers are dedicated to providing the finest quality, compassionate care to those who are terminally ill or facing a life-limiting illness, and to supporting their families through illness and bereavement.
Description
It’s about life! Mission Hospice & Home Care helps patients live life to the fullest, offering medical, spiritual, emotional, and practical support to patients and familes throughout the end-of-life process.
We are San Mateo County's first hospice program, founded by volunteers in 1979. Since then, our staff and volunteers have cared for more than 10,000 patients and families throughout the San Mateo County area.
We are known for our personal, individualized palliative care - whether in patients’ homes, assisted living, board and care, or skilled nursing facilities. We see every day that our compassionate care gives patients and their loved ones the opportunity to cherish their time together.
This work would not be possible without volunteers, who are the heart and soul of our care. Our direct care volunteers offer important emotional and social support to our patients and their families, providing companionship, logistical assistance, and more. Our indirect care volunteers offer their time and talents in the office, assisting with mailings, special events and administrative tasks. The Mission Hospice Auxiliary is dedicated to raising funds and promoting awareness of the services provided by Mission Hospice & Home Care.
