VITAS Healthcare(r) is looking for kind and caring people to help terminally ill patients and their families in area hospitals in Bridgeport and New Haven - just by being there at the end of life. Volunteers provide relief care, peaceful presence for patients, emotional support for the patient and family.
11th-Hour (Vigil) Volunteers should be comfortable around death and dying and be familiar with the dying process. Most importantly, 11th-Hour Volunteers must be able to meet the unique needs of the patient and family by offering a calming presence. We are especially looking for volunteers who would be available at short notice to provide 2-4 hours shifts anytime during the week. (Overnight overs are not required or expected)
