Veteran-to-Veteran Volunteer Program

We recognize the deep bond formed between individuals who’ve served our nation. Our innovative Veteran-to-Veteran Volunteer Program focuses on pairing Veteran volunteers with hospice patients who are also Veterans. This mutual understanding fosters a unique connection, enabling life review, mutual respect, and healing.

Why are Veteran Volunteers Vital?

  • They uphold the values of quality hospice care.
  • Veterans share a unique language and set of experiences.
  • The camaraderie between Veterans can be immensely therapeutic.

Activities for Veteran Volunteers:

  • Engage in life story reminiscing with fellow Veterans.
  • Educate and help patients access their Veteran benefits.
  • Participate in Veteran Day pinning ceremonies and other related events.
  • Assist in the replacement of lost medals.
