ORGANIZATION: Elite Hospice (Formerly Hospice of Central Arkansas)

Like military service, hospice care is a team effort. You are invited to join our team!

We pair veteran hospice patients with veteran volunteers. Since they share common military experiences, our volunteers have a unique ability to relate and connect with fellow veterans - providing patients with the compassionate support and service they have earned and deserve.


A NEW OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE

Veteran volunteers help provide both direct and indirect patient support. Examples include:

  • Sitting, reminiscing, or reading with patients
  • Writing letters
  • Watching television/sports or listening to music
  • Taking part in veteran recognition ceremonies
  • Light house or yard work
  • Dog walking
  • Assistance in replacing lost military awards
  • Providing check-in calls


We are end-of-life care experts and proud 5 Start partners of the "We Honor Veterans" program. Our Veteran-to-Veteran Volunteer Program provides volunteers with the training needed to support military service veterans and their families with in-home hospice care.

If you want to make a big difference in the life of a hospice veteran, please call us today.
