VITAS is looking for volunteers who are able to share their time with hospice patients living at home. Hospice

volunteers give their time to terminally ill patients and their caregivers during a critical time. In orientation

classes, volunteers 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 not only help each patient, but the families are touched as well. Volunteers who

choose not to be visitors may also find opportunities in the administrative offices and in the planning of group activities with

local facilities. To find out more about how you can help, pick up a packet on the balcony in the Career Center,
