Altus Hospice of Beaumont is seeking military veteran or current active staus military individuals to provide emotional support and companionship to military veteran patients.
Hospice patients have been diagnosed with a terminal illness that will complete their lives within an average of 6 months.
Matching a military vet. volunteer with a military vet. patient has proven to be greatly effective. The vol. and patient have an immediate bond and understanding which helps the patient takes their mind off of their diagnosis.
Looking forward to hearing back from you.

Mission Statement
The Mission of Altus Hospice Care is to provide professional care with a personal touch. We accomplish this by focusing on both the patient and their family. We will treat the disease process with medical expertise while emphasizing quality living, not only physically, but also psychosocial, emotionally and spiritually. Comfort, compassion and a calming presence are the gifts we bring to this service, and we are honored to walk with the patient and loved ones through this special time. Our job is a sacred one, one which we view as a privilege. The Altus Hospice staff has a duty to treat each individual under our care, as well as our fellow team members, with the utmost respect, while honoring each individual’s choices and core values. To that end, we will listen intently, respond accordingly and serve humbly.
