Homemade hospital gowns for hospice patients

One of a Kind

Do you have sewing skills and want to bring comfort and a smile to hospice patients? If so, please consider sewing a hospital gown for our hospice patients. We would love anything in soft fabrics and would prefer uplifting patterned fabrics (flowers, pretty colors, plaids, etc). It is so much nicer for our patients to wear something other than a plain hospital gown. We are seeking handmade gowns for both adult men and women. We are a non-profit, so can assist with a tax donation form as well.

Thank you so much!

About UC Davis Hospice Program

Location:

10850 White Rock Road, Rancho Cordova, CA 95670, US

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.
