WesleyLife Hospice is looking for active or retired military men and women to volunteer with our patients who are veterans. Our veteran to veteran program aims to provide companionship and recognition to our veterans. We are looking to fill two types of volunteer roles:

Companionship visits:Volunteers are essential to hospice and when we can pair veterans together it can enhance the special bond that volunteers form with patients. We encourage weekly visits.

Veteran Pinning Ceremonies:As a part of the "We Honor Veterans" program we hold a special ceremony to thank our veteran patients for their service.

A background check, health/drug screen with 2 Step TB test, and hospice training is required.

Interested? You must submit an application at http://bttr.im/m837f . Please contact Diana Ferriss, Volunteer Coordinator, for more information at dferriss@wesleylife.org or 515.229.7366.
