Company Overview
Vitality Hospice is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for patients and their caregivers through compassionate, evidence-based interventions. Our mission is to provide superior service and therapeutic support, ensuring that every individual receives the care they deserve.
Summary
As a Volunteer at Vitality Hospice, you will play a vital role in supporting our mission by assisting patients and their families during their challenging times. This position offers an opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others. As a Patient Buddy, you will gift a patient, or a few (your choice), your time. With input from the patient's family members, and guidance from the patients themselves, you will spend time with the patient(s) in ways that makes sense for them and you. Some just chit-chat, some like to be read to, and some will want company while listening to music or watching a movie, and there will be times when you sit quietly, sitting vigil, so the patient is not alone as they transition. As a member of the Hospice Team, you'll be the eyes and ears for the Team, too, passing on concerns and alerts when needed.
Requirements
There are just a few requirements: be at least 18 years old, have means to get to where our patients are, be a nice person and have time to give to others.
Take Action
So, If you have as little as an hour a week, you can make a huge difference for someone who has no one else giving them that kind of attention.
If this is you, please consider getting involved; apply today to become a part of our compassionate community!
