Calling All Pet Owners! Volunteer to Make a Difference in the Lives of Others VITAS Healthcare is looking for volunteers who can lick away loneliness or cuddle in a lap. VITAS invites friendly and well-behaved pets (and their owners) to join the Paw PalsSM program, in which animals and their humans learn how to visit patients at the end of life. A registered VITAS Paw PalsSM visitor can offer comfort, bring back memories, encourage activity and provide unconditional love to VITAS patients. Research shows that pet visits can sometimes reach a patient when no one else can. Paw PalsSM brighten the day for everyone when they visit. Paw PalsSM must be well-groomed and have up-to-date health records. For more information on VITAS' Paw PalsSM program, contact LuAnn Moyer at 321-752-2530 or LuAnnMoyer@vitas.com.Your commitment is completely up to you, whether you spend one day a week or one day a month. Your time is always appreciated.

Description
Volunteers are the heart of VITAS Healthcare, providing friendly, non-medical patient and family care and offering support services in our office. VITAS Healthcare is looking for volunteers who are able to share their time with hospice patients living at home, nursing homes or ALF. Hospice volunteers give their time to terminally ill patients and their caregivers during a critical time. In orientation classes they are trained in listening skills, family dynamics and the right words to say to patients and their loved ones at the end of life.
VITAS takes pride in its volunteers, and we welcome you to become part of our team. There are many locations throughout the Brevard County area you can choose from. Your commitment is completely up to you and your time is always appreciated. For more information visit www.VITAS.com.
