VITAS Healthcare(r) is looking for people who love to sew and who are able to share their skills with hospice patients and families. A Memory Bear, sewn by a volunteer with compassion and love, is a forever friend who can ease a hurting heart after the death of a VITAS hospice patient. Sewn from a favorite pair of jeans, a pullover top, dress, bathrobe or nightgown, a Memory Bear may recall the closeness of a loved one, bring a smile to someone in distress, or offer a sense of security to a child who feels alone after the loss of a parent or sibling. This is a great opportunity for you to give back to the community. By taking time out of your busy work week you can make the biggest difference in another’s life.

Calling All Professional Stylists! Volunteer to Make a Difference in the Lives of Others VITAS Healthcare(r) is looking for kind and caring professional stylist to pamper hospice patients living at home, in the hospital or in long term care facilities. Pampering can include: filing, polishing and buffing nails; gentle shampoo, set and style; haircut; helping with makeup. The beauty industry plays such a large role in hospice care. Many hospice patients still want to look their best, but they are not able to leave their bedside to have their hair done. Bedside service is often desired but the manpower is just not available. This is a great opportunity for you to give back to the community. By taking time out of your busy work week you can make the biggest difference in another’s life. VITAS takes pride in its volunteers, and we welcome you to become part of our team. There are many locations throughout the Orlando area you can choose from. Your commitment is completely up to you, whether you spend one day a week or one day a month. Your time is always appreciated.

Reiki Volunteers comfort VITAS patients at the end of life-and their families-with relaxing and pain-reducing therapeutic touch. A dying patient’s sense of isolation from the world around him or her is often made worse by the lack of comforting human touch. Reiki Volunteers provide compassionate touch, relaxation, sense of well-being, emotional health and a state of balance. Not to mention, volunteering your professional services to a VITAS patient makes a difference in patient’s life. All VITAS Volunteers receive free orientation in end-of-life care. Our Reiki Volunteers must have at least a Level 1 Reiki certificate. For more information about VITAS Volunteer Services visit https://www.vitas.com/volunteer.
