The Veteran-to-Veteran Volunteer program aims to pair recruited Veteran Volunteers with hospice patients who have been identified as Veterans. Once paired with hospice patients, who also have military experience, Veteran Volunteers have the unique ability to relate and connect with each patient, thereby creating an environment where life review and healing may occur. Veteran Volunteers can assist Veterans in reminiscing/telling their life stories, taking part in pinning ceremonies, replacing lost medals, and providing comfort and companionship to fellow Veterans.

Mission Statement

We set and maintain industry-leading standards for integrity, professionalism, and care. As a member of an interdisciplinary hospice team, you will be supported by some of the most skilled and inspiring people in care. We focus on clinical outcomes and help patients improve their quality of life, but beyond this, we help people make extremely difficult decisions. We hold their hand when they are most afraid, and make a difference, perhaps the most important difference one can make, in the lives of those in our care.

Description

The most important time is the time we have together - with family and friends. Many people think hospice is only about end-of-life care, but it’s so much more than that. In thousands of communities across the country, we help people with a life-limiting illness - and their loved ones - make the most of the time they have in the comfort and privacy of wherever they call home.
