VITAS invites friendly and well-behaved pets to join the Paw Pals SM program, in which animals and their humans learn how to visit patients at the end of their life. A registered VITAS Paw Pals SM visitor can offer comfort, bring back memories, encourage activity and provide unconditional love to VITAS patients. Your visits leave behind memories of you and your pet, and rekindle thoughts of other pets. Pet visits can sometimes reach a patient when no one else can. Our Paw Pals SM brightens the day for everyone when they visit. All kinds of pets are invited to join VITAS’ Paw Pals Club. Paw Pals SM must be well-groomed, at least one- year old, and have up-to-date health records. For more information about VITAS visit www.VITAS.com.

Reiki Volunteers comfort Vitas patients and their families with relaxing and pain-reducing therapeutic touch. A dying patient's sense of isolation from the world around him/her is often made worse by the lack of comforting human touch. Muscles may be contracted and stiff, and all that is needed is for someone to gently rub the shoulders, neck and back. When patients spend their days immobile in a recliner or bed, Reiki volunteers provide compassionate touch, relaxation, a sense of well-being, emotional health and a balanced state. Also, volunteering your professional services to a Vitas patient brings great rewards to every volunteer.

VITAS Healthcare(r) is looking for avid booklovers to read to hospice patients in their homes, the hospital or long term care facilities. Many hospice patients are unable to read on their own. Volunteer readers offer hospice patients the ability to stay in touch with the world around them, or the opportunity to escape into the world of a favorite novel for a short time. By taking a small amount of time out of your busy work or school week you can make the biggest difference in another’s life. This is a great opportunity for you to give back to the community. Your commitment is completely up to you, whether you spend one day a week or one day a month. Your time is always appreciated. For more information about VITAS visit www.VITAS.com.

Virtual Opportunity
VITAS is looking for caring individuals to share their voice and time as Proactive Caller Volunteers to help terminally ill patients and their families. If you enjoy talking on the phone and have time to make check-in calls, you may be a perfect ProActive Caller Volunteer. Our Proactive volunteers make "check-in" phone calls to our hospice patients and their family members. You can work from your dorm room, apartment, home, or the VITAS office. You’ll call patients at home, asking how they are doing, checking on needed supplies, listening, and identifying any service concerns. VITAS provides free volunteer orientation to help you learn the skills required to be an outstanding volunteer caller. Volunteering can strengthen your resume for post-college job interviews and careers. For more information about VITAS Volunteer Services, visit: https://www.vitas.com/volunteer .
