Cancer Center Patient Navigators (palo alto)

2008-07-17T14:04:44-07:00

Patient Navigators are a critical component of Stanford Cancer Concierge Services, serving as ambassadors for the Stanford Cancer Center. They work directly with patients to provide them with the highest quality hospitality and service to ensure a comfortable experience while in the Cancer Center. Volunteering is a rich, rewarding opportunity and we are always looking to expand our group of talented navigators.
Volunteers participate in an overall hospital orientation, go through a brief health clearance (at no cost) and are then trained in the department to familiarize them with the Cancer Center. To ensure the best service for our patients, we require navigators to serve a minimum of one three-hour shift per week for at least 6 months. Our shifts are Monday through Friday as follows: a) 8am-11am; b) 11am-2pm; c) 2-5pm. Education of navigators and staff is ongoing, so volunteers may participate in training seminars or meetings throughout the year. We expect a firm commitment from our volunteers as they play a crucial role in the day-to-day workings of the Cancer Center.
Navigators spend a large portion of their time working with patients, families, and caregivers. As we continually strive to provide the best customer service for our patients, we value volunteers with excellent listening skills, flexibility and an enthusiasm for sharing information about our Supportive Care Program. During a typical three-hour period, navigators will have the opportunity to move throughout the Cancer Center, guiding patients to the main hospital or to appointments, visit the Infusion Treatment Area, the various Clinics and Radiation Therapy waiting areas to distribute reading materials and snacks. Part of their time may be spent at the Welcome Desk directing visitors, answering phones and distributing materials. As volunteers represent the Cancer Center and Cancer Concierge Services, we do request they dress in business attire-blazers are highly recommended-and that they conduct themselves with professionalism and absolute compliance with patient confidentiality. Also, as going through cancer treatments can be an emotional process, we do require that volunteers be at least one year out of cancer treatment (either their own or a loved one�s) prior to participating in the program.

Do you care about the coast? Enjoy going to the beach?
If you answered "yes," you should consider volunteering with the San Mateo County Chapter of Surfrider Foundation!

How do you get involved?
The chapter has a variety of volunteer opportunities for people of various skill sets and time availability, so you can get involved in something that best fits your interests. Currently, the chapter is looking for:
-water sample collectors for its water quality monitoring program
-beach cleanup participants
-MySpace page manager
-informational flyer distributors
-info table captains
-an Event Coordinator
-a Volunteer Coordinator

$50.00 - Breast Cancer Screening Study - Volunteers Needed $50.00 (Portola Valley)

2008-07-16T10:34:59-07:00

Breast Cancer Early Detection Study
Help us fight breast cancer by finding it earlier, when treatment is more successful and less invasive.
A Silicon Valley company is developing a rapid screening test for younger women.
The scan takes 10 minutes, is painless, and does not involve X-rays or blood tests.
(This study is funded by the National Institutes of Health and the National Cancer Institute.)
WHO IS ELIGIBLE? We are looking for paid female volunteers, ages 21-50, because mammograms are not as reliable for this age group as they are for post-menopausal women over 50.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN? While you lie on your back, a nurse will gently place a hand held scanner (the size of a pack of cards) against the skin of your breast at several locations. A technician, sitting out of view on the other side of a privacy screen, will take notes and run the equipment. There will be no physical examination, and no photographs taken.
WHAT WILL I LEARN? We will not be able to make a diagnosis of cancer in any of our volunteers. This is because we are only studying normal values in women without cancer. However, by helping us you are helping other women in the future, who may benefit when this test is taken into a larger, clinical study. However, if there is, at the end of the study, any scan that looks abnormal we will be recommending a follow up mammogram, which will be paid for, at Stanford.
WHAT DO I RECEIVE? You will receive a $50 check on completion of your test as our way of saying �thanks�.
WHO IS PAYING FOR THIS STUDY? The U.S. Government has provided funds for this study. This technology is under development at Stanford, University of California, Univ. of Pennsylvania, and elsewhere.
THERE ARE A FEW REQUIREMENTS BEFORE YOU ARE ELIGIBLE TO VOLUNTEER:
− You must be female
− You must be 21 to 50 years old
− You must not have (or have had in the past) breast cancer
− You must not have (or have had in the past) breast implants or breast surgery
− You must not have had breast biopsy, breast trauma, or breast infection in the past 90 days.
WILL MY PRIVACY PROTECTED? Yes, strict Federal Laws (called HIPAA) protect your privacy. Your name and personal information will be removed from all data before it is submitted to the FDA or published. However, certain agencies such as the FDA occasionally and legally may request a list of our subjects� names.
WHO DO I CONTACT? Please provide your first name (and optionally your last name), contact phone, e-mail address, and the best time for us to call. Send this to breastcancerstudy@gmail.com. A nurse will call you to confirm your interest, verify eligibility, answer your questions, and schedule a study. Studies are performed on mondays during normal business hours.

Office space needed for Nonprofit! (palo alto)

2008-07-14T16:32:09-07:00

GreatNonprofits, a technology nonprofit, is in need of some office space in Palo Alto. We have a lot of Stanford interns so we'd like to be as close to Stanford as possible. We are looking for donated space or shared space for pretty low rent.

More about us below or just check us out online at www.greatnonprofits.org

or send us an email at iskra(at)greatnonprofits.org

GreatNonprofits is a place to find, review, and talk about great -- and perhaps not yet great -- nonprofits. You already know that reviews by other people who have gone to a restaurant or tried out a doctor are the best way to find out about the quality of those services. If you have direct experience with a nonprofit, GreatNonprofits makes it easier for you to share your knowledge so that other people can discover the great nonprofits that are out there.

We don't review nonprofits ourselves. Much like Amazon book reviews or consumer reviews site (Epinions, Zagats, TripAdvisor, Yelp, etc.), the reviews and ratings are posted by people who have been touched by a nonprofit and want to share their story about it. You'll see on our site stories of people who have volunteered for or donated to nonprofits and stories of people who have received services.
