Being near a military community, we often serve Veterans and their families. Deacon Hospice is in need of active or former military to visit with these patients. They have so many wonderful stories to share, and would love to share them with you. We will provide a certificate of appreciation for service to their country for you to present to them.
Needs range from regular home or facility visits, to offering occasional caregiver relief for those that care for our Veterans full time.
Please call Sally Cary at 601 261-4018 or email sally.cary@LHCgroup.comWe have plenty of other volunteer opportunities as well. Please take a moment and view our other listings to find one that fits you!
We believe that every moment matters. We believe in compassionate care. Most of all, we believe in dignity and respect for each patient we serve.More opportunities with Deaconess Hospice
