Have you served in the military? Do you come from a military background? Do you have experience working closely with someone who served in the military? We are looking for volunteers who have military experience and would like to volunteer their time and efforts with a Veteran patient. Traditions Health is national partner of We Honor Veterans, a pioneering campaign developed by the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization in collaboration with the Department of Veterans Affairs. Through this partnership, we ensure that our team has the knowledge and is equipped with the skills to provide the best care for our Veterans. We recognize that military history contributes significantly to the care we provide our Veteran patients.

Traditions Health strives to provide Veteran-centric care during end-of-life. A prominent need for Veteran Volunteers to volunteer their time with someone who is on hospice allows for sharing of stories and experiences. Veteran patients continue to be honored for the service they provided by allowing us the opportunity to serve them. Military experience is unique to those who have served and that camaraderie is a source of support and comfort at end-of-life.

Volunteers can dedicate time to our Veteran patients and enrich the lives of our patients by:

  • Assisting with pinning ceremonies, honoring, and presenting certificates
  • Participating in our legacy program (when appropriate) so our Veterans can tell their story
  • Providing support to families and loved ones
  • Educating the community about Veterans and hospice care
  • Participating in Veteran Cafes
  • And so much more!
All of us here at Traditions Health strive to serve our Veterans and their families and provide the best possible care wherever they call home. Respond to this post to find out how to become a hospice volunteer with us! We are actively recruiting for volunteers at this time. Please respond for information on how you can volunteer with hospice! At Traditions Health, we strive to utilize the skills and time of our volunteers to help improve the quality of life for our patients. Your unique skills and generous time is exactly what a hospice patient needs.

Traditions Health provide hospice services to patients across Orange County, as far north into LA County as Whittier and La Habra, down to San Clemente and San Bernardino County (i.e Rancho Cucamonga, Pomona, and Chino Hills), wherever the patient calls home. Patients may reside in their own home, board and care home or facility.

Description

Hospice care is about living! When a patient is diagnosed with a life limiting illness, the patient and family may become overwhelmed with planning, emotions, questions, and fear. The Traditions Health hospice team provides support and guidance to patients and their families to address each of these needs throughout their end of life journey. We walk with the patient and their loved ones each step of the way, providing the education and care they need to have the best quality of life possible.

Our team is passionate about building relationships with our patients and their loved ones so that we know what matters most to them. Whether the need is physical, spiritual or emotional, our compassionate hospice experts are available to provide the necessary support. Comfort and dignity are the anchors of hospice care. Our clinicians are highly skilled at recognizing and managing symptoms early, in most cases allowing the patient to remain comfortable at home throughout the end of their life.
