VET TO VET VOLUNTEERS offer a unique ability to relate and connect to fellow veteran patients, either as a companion or while conducting veteran pinning ceremonies.

LOCATION

Our hospice services are provided wherever one calls home, which could include a private home or care community, such as assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing facilities.

HOW TO GET INVOLVED

First, ask yourself:

  • Are you a veteran yourself?
  • Can you commit to a minimum of four hours a month for six months?
  • Are you comfortable with death and the dying process, or have an openness and willingness to learn?
  • Are you dependable and able to work independently?

If yes to all of the above, the following are steps to getting involved, typically taking 3-4 weeks to complete:

  • Interview with a member of our volunteer services team
  • Submit to background and reference checks
  • Complete online training, at your own pace
  • Attend virtual wrap-up session

OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU

  • A flexible schedule at a location that is convenient for you
  • Consistent and accessible staff support
  • Ongoing guidance and education to ensure you are comfortable and effective in your role
  • Ability to take a leave of absence at any time
