Phone Volunteers Needed for three counties in Ga (S. DeKalb, S.Fulton and Clayton)

There are many ways to be a hospice volunteer. VITAS Innovative Hospice Care of Metro Atlanta, Ga. is looking LONG TERM for caring individuals willing to share their voices and time to contact hospice patients and their families as part of its Telephone Assurance Program (TAP).

If you enjoy talking on the phone and have time to make a few phone calls, you may be a perfect TAP Volunteer. Volunteers work from their own homes or from the VITAS office, checking on VITAS patients in their homes. TAP Volunteers inquire about how patients and families are doing, calm anxious patients or loved ones, provide grief support or simply listen. All VITAS Volunteers are fully trained.

Anyone who would like to provide this important relationship to a terminally ill patient and his or her family while working as part of an interdisciplinary hospice team may call Betty A. Edwards, Volunteer Mgr., at 404-843-6500.
