Compassus is proud to participate in the We Honor Veterans program. Many of our locations provide trained veteran volunteers who offer camaraderie and compassionate care for fellow veterans. Our veteran-to-veteran volunteers understand the unique needs of veterans because they ARE veterans.
11th Hour / Vigil VolunteersSome local programs have 11th Hour / Vigil Volunteers. These are trained, non-medical volunteers who offer emotional support to patients and caregivers in the last hours of life. 11th Hour / Vigil volunteers are a compassionate presence during the last hours of life for hospice patients, in private homes or in facilities.
Supplementary Volunteer ServicesWe welcome other specialized volunteers to provide services to our patients, such as:
- Reiki practitioners
- Massage Therapists
- Pet Therapy Teams
- Art Therapists
- Music Therapists
- Hair Stylists
For all of these supplementary volunteer services, the volunteers must be certified or licensed.
