VITAS Volunteers give their time to terminally ill patients and their families at a critical time. There are a variety of tasks at an inpatient hospice unit. Being a part of a team in a hospital setting that serves patients and families at the end of their life is amazing and rewarding work. Volunteers may choose to: visit with patients and families, serve and feed patients at mealtime, read books, write letters or play games with patients and/or families, offer spiritual support, or help with administrative duties. The unit is open 24 hours seven days a week.
