Heartland Hospice’s Vet to Vet Companion Program is in need of compassionate, friendly, and caring former and active duty military members to volunteer a few hours a month enhancing the lives of Veterans on hospice.
Our Veterans are seeking the friendship and camaraderie they experienced as soldiers, sailors, Marines, and airmen. By donating time socializing and providing emotional support, you could significantly enrich the lives of the men and women who honored your same uniform.
A truly rewarding experience for both you and your fellow Veterans!
Our screening process includes an application, background check and in-person training. We work with your schedule & match you with patients in your community, so contact us and let's make a difference together! I look forward to hearing from you.

Mission Statement
Our Mission is to improve your health and well-being.
Description
Heartland Hospice volunteers offer support, companionship and practical, compassionate help. Some interact directly with patients and families. Others prefer to work behind the scenes in the office setting. As a volunteer, you help determine which tasks you’re best suited to perform. The tasks of volunteers include:
- Helping with office support tasks at the agency
- Running errands for patients and families
- Staying with patients so family members can get a much-needed rest
- Reading, or providing a comforting touch
- Playing or singing soothing music to patients
- Keeping vigil with patients in their final hours
These and other tasks are why hospice volunteers are such an essential part of the Heartland experience.
