Cultivate the soil and nurture the lives of others. The beauty and serenity of a garden can be a source of peace and relaxation to terminally ill patients and their families. VITAS Healthcare(r) is looking for volunteers with green thumbs to maintain the garden at our inpatient hospice unit.

As a gardening volunteer, you will help with general maintenance such as weeding, pruning, and planting. Previous horticulture experience of any sort is a bonus, but is not a requirement.

Schedules are made according to the volunteer’s preferences. For more information about VITAS Volunteer Services visit https://www.vitas.com/volunteer.

Description

Volunteers are the heart of VITAS Healthcare, providing friendly, non-medical patient and family care and offering support services in our office. VITAS Healthcare is looking for volunteers who are able to share their time with hospice patients living at home, nursing homes or ALF. 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.

VITAS takes pride in its volunteers, and we welcome you to become part of our team. There are many locations throughout the Brevard County area you can choose from. Your commitment is completely up to you and your time is always appreciated. For more information visit www.VITAS.com.
