    Description

    Patient Visit Volunteer

    A Patient Visit Volunteer is a regular volunteer who conducts patient visits at the VA Medical Center delivering care and comfort items to veterans. May help veterans with tasks such as reading their mail or writing a letter for them, and may sit with patients, to keep them company or listen to a story.

    • Visit patients on various units of the VA hospital on a regular basis.
    • Distribute donated items (when available) to patients and/or family members (e.g. blankets, comfort kits, hygiene products).
    • Work through the Center for Development and Civic Engagement (CDCE) office to coordinate visits and distributions.
    • Maintain confidentiality and adhere to VA rules.
    • Abide by and support the philosophy, policy, and guidelines of Soldiers’ Angels.
    • Keep careful records of hours volunteered and items distributed.
