About this Opportunity
Share your time and skills when it matters most… at the end of life.VITAS Volunteers make a difference every day… helping those at the end of life and their families. The gift they give is their time as part of our hospice team effort. VITAS is the largest and one of the nation’s oldest hospices, serving patients throughout Atlanta since 2004. We provide a special form of care for people during the last months of life - focused on adding quality to this special time.
Volunteers are valued members of our hospice team, and help in a variety of ways:
- Listening as a patient shares memories, feelings, fears.
- Filling in to give a family caregiver a short, needed break.
- Telephoning patients and families to offer reassurance and comfort.
- Providing administrative support in the VITAS office.
VITAS volunteers are as diverse as the patients and families we serve - covering all ages, nationalities, faiths, and ethnic backgrounds. We even have volunteer roles for those who are homebound. All VITAS volunteers receive comprehensive training. We, then, match your talents and interests with the broad spectrum of available volunteer roles.
