VITAS Healthcare is looking for volunteers who are able to share their time with hospice patients living at home or in nursing home facilities. Hospice volunteers give their time to terminally ill patients and their caregivers during a critical time.
VITAS volunteers provide relief care to tired caregivers, offer companionship to patients, run errands and help in many other meaningful ways. This is a great opportunity to give back to your community!
Volunteers need no clinical background or training...orientation class will train volunteers in listening skills, family dynamics and the right words to say to patients and their loved ones dealing with end of life issues.
