The Good Shepherd team is looking for Veterans who want to volunteer to visit our Veteran Patients. Veteran Volunteers have the unique ability to relate, connect, share stories about serving our country and give strength to our veteran patients. Veteran Volunteers help enhance the quality of life for veteran hospice patients during times of reflection and this creates a common bond that means so much to our patients and their families.
Volunteering with Veteran Hospice patients takes as little one hour per week. Can you spare a hour a week to put smile on the face of a veteran that is going through a hard time?
Please contact, Ashley Jefferies at 660-869-8752 to get started. You can also email her at Ashley. Jefferies@goodshepherdhospice.com
We offer great training and ongoing support to ensure that you feel comfortable in your work as a valued member of our hospice team. All Vet to Vet Volunteers must be 18 years or older and must pass our background check.
Good Shepherd Hospice is a Level 4 We Honor Veterans Community Partner. The We Honor Veterans Program is a part of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization and the Department of Veteran Affairs. It is a program that empowers hospices to take care of the unique needs of dying Veterans.

Description
COMPASSIONATE ABOUT CARE. passionate about life.
At Good Shepherd Hospice, we believe that health care is more than just a diagnosis and a treatment. It's a daily exercise in making this moment...this today...the very best it can be. We're here to help our patients achieve that goal - physically, mentally, spiritually...and for whatever that means individually.
We believe that in the passing of a person’s life, there are also extraordinary opportunities for compassion, reconciliation, spiritual healing, and renewal.
Our Volunteers play a vital role in our Hospice program. From working in the office, to creating special projects at home, to visiting to provide companionship and ease lonliness, Good Shepherd Hospice Volunteers make special moments happen again and again for the patients and families we serve.
