JFCS and Samaritan have a partnership agreement to bring the comfort of Jewish traditions and values to Hospice care. Volunteers can visit seriously ill patients and their families, often providing respite care for the family members. These volunteers are required to be vetted by Samaritan, including references and a background check. Each volunteer is also required to attend 12 hours of classroom training and one hour of in the field training. They will be required to have initial PPD testing for Rubeola, Rubella, and Varicella titers, plus clearance from their doctor saying that they are fit to volunteer.
