VITAS is looking for kind and caring people to help terminally ill patients and their families. Friendly visits, simple errands, providing a listening ear and the gift of friendship at a crucial time can make a real difference in another's life. Yours, too!

Other VITAS volunteer activities: respite care (sit with a patient while the caregiver takes a break); friendly visits to patients and their families at home, in a nursing home; or assisted living facility. Volunteers may spend time helping patients reminisce, listen to music, write letters, read books, or help them stay current with today's events. Just being there to visit someone who might not necessarily get a visitor makes a real difference.

VITAS Volunteer orientation is provided free of charge to help you learn the skills required to be an outstanding hospice volunteer. Time and dates are ongoing and flexible. For more information Please contact Karen Hale, Volunteer Services Manager at 203-437-3127 or karen.hale@vitas.com.
