Veteran Hospice Volunteers Needed

Please visit the new page to apply.
We are looking for Veteran volunteers in the Quad Cities area who would like to offer their fellow Veterans support as they journey through the end of life. If you are wanting to provide companionship and support to a fellow Veteran than this is the right opportunity for you!
As part of our Veteran-to-Veteran Volunteer Program you would be matched with a Veteran patient or have the opportunity to honor our Veteran patients through various ceremonies and recognition events. The Veteran-to-Veteran connection is a special bond between two individuals who know firsthand the impact of serving our country. Veteran volunteers have the unique ability to relate and connect with each patient thereby creating an environment where life review and healing may occur.
If you would like to make a difference in someone's life and are interested in our Veteran-to-Veteran Volunteer Program, contact us today to learn more about this rewarding opportunity to help those in your community! We can be reached at 563-359-3540.

Description
Hospice Volunteers perform many important duties. Whether providing companionship to a patient, bereavement support, administrative/office work or Veteran to Veteran - volunteers play a vital role that enables ProMedica Hospice to meet the needs of our patients, their families and the community.
Our volunteers are essential to providing the level of care and support that patients and their families expect from hospice care helping to make ProMedica Hospice one of the leading hospice providers in the region.
Volunteers lend an ear to a patient when they express themselves, providing an outlet they may not have. Oftentimes their presence alone brings comfort and support. Hospice volunteers also enjoy spending time with the patient, and participating in some of their favorite pastimes, like playing chess, cards, or watching TV.
Whether you volunteer in one of our local offices or provide companionship to our patients, you'll be part of a valuable team that helps families navigate a difficult time. Our Davenport and Moline offices service a wide area including the following counties: Rock Island (IL), Mercer (IL), Henry (IL), Whiteside (IL), Knox (IL), Scott (IA), Muscatine (IA), Johnson (IA), Jackson (IA), Cedar (IA), Clinton (IA), Jones (IA). We are also looking for pet therapy owners who can share their pets with our patients.
