A Hospice Telephone Assurance Program (TAP) Volunteer

VITAS is looking for caring individuals to share their voice and time as Telephone Assurance Program (TAP) Volunteers to help terminally ill patients and their families. TAP is a program in which volunteers make phone calls to patients in their home to do a check in OR see if they need refills for supplies. These calls can be done from your home or in our office. Bereavement support to survivors are also an option under this program.

All volunteers are required to attend a 1 hr Zoom AND comprehensive in-person orientation to gain the knowledge you will need to work with terminally ill patients. a background check is also required and provided by VITAS. Zoom orientation held 3x per month and in-person every other month.
