VITAS Healthcare is currently looking for Proactive Caller Volunteers. The purpose of these calls is to check in on hospice patients and caregivers to see how they are doing. Volunteers make calls directly from their homes and would contact patients and caregivers once a week. While
The hours are flexible and we appreciate anytime you are able to contribute. Vitas Staff provide training and ongoing supervision to volunteers for the Proactive calls. In addition, VITAS provides Zoom trainings that gives detailed instructions and guidance for the Proactive Caller Volunteer program. This is an excellent opportunity for those working from home, retirees, college and medical students as well as those in nursing, social work or other healthcare related professions. Anyone wanting to make a difference from their own home is welcome to apply.
