VITAS Healthcare is looking for volunteers who can share their time with hospice patients living at home or in long term care facilities. Patient Care Volunteers give their time to terminally ill patients and their caregivers during a critical time. Volunteers receive training on listening skills, family dynamics and the right words to say to patients and their loved ones at the end of life.
Visits made by our volunteers help patients, families, and caregivers. The shortest conversation 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 wonderful opportunity for you to give back to the community. By taking a small amount of time out of your busy week you can make the biggest difference in another’s life.
VITAS takes pride in its volunteers, and we welcome you to become part of our team. There are many locations throughout the area you can choose from. Your commitment is completely up to you, whether you spend one day a week or one day a month. We appreciate any time you can contribute as a volunteer.
