A Volunteer Visit Can Make A Difference in the Lives of Others in Glenview

VITAS Heathcare is looking for volunteer who are able to share their time with hospice patients living at home, in the hospital, or in long term care facilities. Hospice voltuneers give their time to terminally ill patients and their caregivers during a critical time. In orientation classes they 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 made by our volunteers not only help each patient, but the families are truly touched as well. The shortest conversation can have the largest impact. VITAS volunteers provide relief care for caregivers, offer companionship for the patient, run errands and help in other meaningful ways.

This is a great opportunity for you to give back to your community. By taking a small amount of time out if your busy week you can make the biggest difference in another's life.
