Our Vet-to-Vet program strives to match a hospice patient who is a Veteran with a volunteer who is also a Veteran, or active military personnel. Offer your gifts of compassionate listening and grateful acknowledgement when it is needed most!
Volunteers talk with patients, hold their hand, play a game, read a book, play music, or just provide a friendly presence. We also need military veterans to help with Vet-to-Vet Cafes at local nursing facilities and honor ceremonies.
A few hours a month can make a big difference. Assignments, hours, and locations are flexible and can work around your schedule.
Heartland Hospice is a Level 5 participant in the national We Honor Veterans program. Learn how you can join us to better support Veterans in our community, especially at End-of-Life.
Application, Interview, References, Criminal Background Check, Drug Testing, 2-Step TB Testing, and approx. 12 hours of orientation are required for patient visit volunteers.
