Dunnellon- Advocate for Hospice Patients by making Check-in Phone Calls
♡ SaveAbout this opportunity
VITAS is looking for caring individuals to share their voice and time as Proactive Caller Volunteers to help terminally ill patients and their families. If you enjoy talking on the phone and have time to make check-in calls, you may be a perfect ProActive Caller Volunteer. Our Proactive volunteers make "check-in" phone calls to our hospice patients and their family members. You can work from your dorm room, apartment, home, or the VITAS office. You’ll call patients at home, asking how they are doing, checking on needed supplies, listening, and identifying any service concerns. VITAS provides free volunteer orientation to help you learn the skills required to be an outstanding volunteer caller. Volunteering can strengthen your resume for post-college job interviews and careers. For more information about VITAS Volunteer Services, visit: https:www.vitas.com/volunteer
About VITAS Healthcare of Marion County
VITAS (r) Healthcare is defined by the needs of the patients and families we serve. In 1978 our first patient, Emmy Philhour, made us this offer: "Help me stay at home, and I’ll teach you how to care for me." We agreed, and this commitment to service and learning still drives us today. Like Emmy, each of the hundreds of thousands of patients and families we’ve served has taught us something about compassionate care. Today, as a leader in the hospice movement in the United States, we are continuing to evolve and meet the changing needs of those with a life-limiting illness and their families. As we adapt to the ever-changing healthcare environment, however, we are guided as always by our VITAS Values.
