Veterans for Veterans - Volunteer with Hospice Patients Program

Save to Favorites

Through the We Honor Veterans program from the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization, Halcyon Hospice & Palliative Care is actively recruiting Veterans of all kinds to spend quality time with our patients who are also Veterans. Volunteers during end-of-life care provide patients with the companionship and emotional support needed to help them on their journey, and by partnering Veterans with each other, their support of each other goes even deeper through a common bond.
