Do you enjoy spending time with fellow Veterans of various military backgrounds?
As a military member yourself, you know that the fraternity of service is both unmatched and sacred. Grace Hospice invites you to share the love of country with a Veteran hospice patient. Through our Veteran to Veteran volunteer program our goal is to match up Veteran volunteers with our Veteran hospice patients.
Our volunteers, of all backgrounds and life experiences, are an important piece of the puzzle within our team. Come join our amazing team!

About HarmonyCares Hospice of Williamsburg
Location:
263 McLaws Circle, Suite 100, Williamsburg, VA 23185, US
Mission Statement
For each employee to treat every patient as their own treasured loved one, providing care that affords a quality of life that outweighs quantity of day, and supports caregivers as their hearts find healing.
Description
Hospice care is not just for the patient. It also provides emotional support for the entire family. Hospice is a philosophy of caring for patients whose medical conditions are not responding to treatment or for those patients who choose not to seek agressive medical care at the end stage of life. Our program is for patients who are considered terminal and are expected to live six months or less if the disease follows its natural course, although many patients outlive this time frame. Our philosophy focuses on comfort care not currative care. Our goal is for the patient to remain as comfortable and pain-free as possible in their own home or the home of a loved one through the end of life. We also serve patients who are living in long-term and assisted living facilities.
