Hearts for Hospice is looking for veterans to be part of our Volunteer Program. The Veteran-to-Veteran Volunteer Program aims to pair recruited Veteran Volunteers with hospice patients who have been identified as Veterans. We know that:
* Volunteers are essential to the delivery of quality hospice care.
* Veterans are a part of a distinct culture with their own common language and experience.
* When Veterans interact, their common language and experience can form a strong relational bond.
* The camaraderie created between Veterans has proven to be supportive for all involved.
Training and support provided by Hearts for Hospice including TB test and background check at no cost.
If you are interested in supporting our Veterans in this unique and important way, please contact Mary Friedrich, Volunteer Coordinator with Hearts for Hospice at 208-389-2276.
