As a U.S. veteran of Vietnam combat, volunteer Rob Carey knows what it’s like to serve on behalf of others. Since 2010, Rob has volunteered with VITAS, first in Texas and later in Florida.
From speaking engagements to in-service education to patient visits, Rob volunteers in many capacities. He now conducts interviews to assemble life biographies for hospice patients. As an ordained minister, he also responds with spiritual care.
“Telling them how much I appreciate them can make all the difference,” he says. “I have met so many wonderful people — sharing laughter, tears, and loving them right where they are.”
