Veterans Helping Veterans: Become a Hospice Volunteer!

Save to Favorites

Seasons Hospice and Palliative Care of Oakland is proud to be a partner with We Honor Veterans, a national partnership between the VA and the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO). We Honor Veterans is a pioneering program focused on respectful inquiry, compassionate listening and grateful acknowledgment to our veterans.

Are you a Veteran or on Active Duty with time and a desire to give back? YOU can increase the quality of life of veterans and their families who are affected by a terminal diagnosis. Even better, you can volunteer all over Alameda/Contra Costa County or even from your own home!

We are currently training volunteers to be....

Direct Care Patient Volunteers: Visit patients in their homes or facilities to provide companionship and support all across the Sacramento area! Veteran volunteers are always in demand for our veteran patient population in the Sacramento area and the need will only continue to grow in the Sacramento area.

Vigil/Respite Volunteers: Offer your comfort and presence to patients during the last hours of their lives or provide relief to patient caregivers for a few hours!

Bereavement Phone Call Volunteers: After a loved one has passed away, Seasons Hospice is committed to checking in with our families to see how they are doing on a regular basis. Make phone calls that offer support and comfort to families grieving a loss. Calls can be made from your own home!

Circle of Care Phone Call Volunteers: Check in with our patients' families before the weekend to make sure they have all of their needs met! (medications, supplies, etc.) Calls can be made from your own home!

If any of these opportunities sound interesting to you, contact our friendly Volunteer Services Coordinator Brian Fraser at bfraser@seasons.org to learn more!
