VITAS Healthcare is looking for individuals to share their voice and time as Telephone Assurance Program (TAP) Volunteers to help terminally ill patients and their families.
TAP is a program where in home hospice patients (and their family members) receive "check-in" phone calls by VITAS TAP Volunteers. Whether this be before or after death, sometimes our patients and families just need someone to listen.
If you are short on time or cannot leave your home often but still want to help - this could be the perfect program for you!
