About
VITAS Healthcare is looking for volunteers who are able to share their time with hospice patients living at home, in the hospital, or in a long term care facility. Hospice volunteers give their time to terminally ill patients and their caregivers during a critical time.
In orientation classes they are trained in listening skills, family dynamics, and the right words to say to patients and their loved ones at the end of life.
Visits made by volunteers not only help each patient, but the families are truly touched as well. Even the shortest conversations can have the largest impact. VITAS volunteers provide relief care for caregivers, offer companionship for the patient, run errands and help in other meaningful ways.
This is a great opportunity to give back to your community!
