Volunteer to bring Harmony and Happiness to Hospice Patients - Orange County

VITAS Healthcare(r) is looking for musical, caregiver relief, and compassionate Volunteers who are able to play musical instruments and/or sing, read a book, and provide companionship for hospice patients living at home, in the hospital or in long term care facilities.

Sometimes what a hospice patient needs most is a way to express feelings without talking. By playing or singing their favorite songs or hymns, VITAS music volunteers help patients and families reconnect with feelings and memories that can bring about a sense of peace and happiness. By providing a simple friendly visit to a patient, Volunteers brighten a hospice patients day.

VITAS provides training on how to work with people at the end of life. The volunteer provides the talent, compassion and time. Assignments are made according to the volunteer’s time and location.

Volunteers must be at least 18 years old.
