Every day, Heartland Hospice has the honor of caring for Veterans. We are dedicated to serving those who have served our country by providing care wherever the patient considers home.
We make it a point to recognize the distinctive needs of Veterans. Whether or not their health care needs are directly related to their service, we know that they have a unique life story. We are here to listen with compassion and find ways to serve Veterans by continually educating our staff about ways to better meet our Veterans’ needs, as well as by partnering with community resources. We are proud to honor these heroes by providing them with the dignity that they so richly deserve.
Many community hospice providers have implemented an innovative model for serving Veterans at the end of life - the Veteran-to-Veteran Volunteer Program. 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.
Volunteers who have served tend to make a bigger impact on our Veterans.

Mission Statement
To provide exceptional care with empathy for our patients and their families so they may live with comfort, dignity, and respect.
Description
Gentiva Hospice serves patient and families wherever they may live. Our office covers the areas of Butler, Ellwood City, New Castle, Hermitage, Grove City, Mercer, and Greenville.
With hospice there is hope for a better quality of life.
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.
Our teams of physicians, nurses, social workers, volunteers, hospice aides and chaplains attend to people’s emotional, spiritual, and physical needs during this challenging time.
As a hospice volunteer, you become a valuable part of our care team and play a vital role in improving the quality of life for those in our care. There are so many ways to help; everything from spending time with a patient, running an errand, or doing light housekeeping to even providing invaluable administrative support. Contact us today and our hospice volunteer coordinator will help you find the best way to help.
