VITAS Healtchare is looking to match talented, sensitive volunteers with elders near the end of life who have a tale to tell. Life Story volunteers capture a patient’s meaningful moments and can develop a "digital biography" on CD or DVD featuring the patient’s voice/video recalling his or her life stories.
