A Volunteer Visit Can Make a Difference in the Lives of Others in Bakersfield

VITAS Healthcare is looking for Volunteers who can share their time with hospice patients living at home, in the hospital, or in long-term care facilities. Hospice volunteers give their time to terminally ill patients and their caregivers during a critical time. In orientation classes, they are trained in 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 not only help each patient, but the families are truly touched as well. The shortest conversations can have the largest impact.

VITAS Volunteers provide relief care to caregivers, offer companionship for the patient, run errands, and help in other meaningful ways. This is a great way 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 our voulunteer program and invites you to be a part of our team.
