The Compassus Veteran-to-Veteran volunteer program pairs veteran volunteers with hospice patients who are veterans. Veteran volunteers are important because they are able to form a camaraderie with veteran patients.
Veteran Volunteers can help by:
- Assist veterans in reminiscing/telling life stories.
- Educate and assist patients in receiving veteran benefits.
- Take part in pinning ceremonies or distribute certificates for Veteran’s Day and other recognition events.
- Friendly visits
- Improve communication within families
- Assist in replacing lost medals
- Provide relief for caregivers
- Read to patients
Veteran volunteers have the unique ability to relate and connect with each veteran patient allowing them to become an essential piece in the delivery of quality end-of-life care.
Contact Kim, Volunteer Coordinator at 812-909-8707 if you are interested in making a difference for a Veteran on Hospice services.
