Assist Hospice Patients in an Inpatient Setting

VITAS Volunteers give their time to terminally ill patients and their families in a hospital type setting. Volunteers are needed to: visit with patients and families in the In patient unit, read books out loud to patients or visiting children, write letters or play games with patients and/or families, provide friendly support with your certified pet, sing or play music for patients and their families, manage the patient care activity cart and help with administrative duties, like answering phones and welcoming in people.

The VITAS IPU is open 24 hours, 7 days a week. Volunteers generally help by providing support during a 2 to 4-hour shift. However, you make your own schedule.
