Are you a veteran? Do you know a veteran who would like to serve other veterans as they approach the end of life?
Hospice of Northeast Georgia Medical System (501(c)3 nonprofit) participates in a nationwide program called, "We Honor Veterans."
"We Honor Veterans" is a program of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization in collaboration with the Department of Veterans Affairs. The program teaches respectful inquiry, compassionate listening and grateful acknowledgment to comfort hospice patients who have a history of military service and possibly physical and psychological trauma.
We believe veterans can provide unique and crucial support to other veterans because...
Veterans may develop trust that comes from common life experiences. They may share camaraderie that transcends civilian experience. Often, veterans may feel free to share more about their experiences with other veterans and secrecy and concern over societal reactions may diminish.
Please join us and share your valuable experience with others.

Mission Statement
Hospice of Northeast Georgia Medical Center (NGMC) is committed to improving and supporting quality of life in all that we do.
Description
Hospice care began in the 1960’s as a volunteer movement, and volunteerism continues to be the foundation of modern-day hospice. Hospice volunteers are a part of every aspect of a hospice program.
Our volunteers have served families in Northeast Georgia for 30 years. The volunteer role is one of the most tender and significant parts of our program. Our volunteers help run our office, do community outreach and keep vigil at the bedside of our patients. Some utilize their own unique skill-sets to provide very specialized volunteer services. Volunteers are the heartbeat of our program.
We welcome volunteers from all walks of life, and anyone age 18 years or older may apply. We are committed to find a place for you in our program and to make your volunteer experience successful.
