Senior Support After Surgery in Palo Alto
After surgery, you can't drive, can't carry bags, and getting to the pharmacy is a whole ordeal. VoGro volunteers can help with the day-to-day stuff while you heal.
The doctor says "take it easy"
But the groceries still need buying. Prescriptions still need picking up. After a hip replacement, knee surgery, or any big operation, you might go weeks without being able to drive or carry anything. Sitting at home alone doesn't help either.
VoGro sends a local volunteer who can handle the practical stuff so you can actually rest.

Used by local hospitals
Stanford Health Care and El Camino Health refer patients to VoGro after discharge. Our volunteers help cover the gap between leaving the hospital and getting back on your feet.
