VITAS Healthcare, the nation’s leading provider of end-of-life care, is offering an orientation class for new volunteers in Miami-Dade County. Volunteers will receive a free and comprehensive training, where they will learn hospice philosophy, caring for the terminally ill, grief and loss education, and more. Breakfast and lunch will be provided at the orientation.

Upon completing the orientation, volunteers are given the opportunity to choose the role in which they will feel comfortable and fulfilled. Roles of the hospice volunteers include visiting patients in their homes, nursing homes or assisted living facilities to offer companionship, run errands and help in other meaningful ways.

To RSVP, please call Cathy Agosti, Volunteer Services Manager, at (305) 690-4765. For more information about becoming a VITAS volunteer, visit www.vitas.com/volunteer.
