    BECOME A VETERAN TO VETERAN HOSPICE VOLUNTEER-Opportunities in Dallas/Collin/Rockwall/Hunt/Kaufman Counties

    Those Who Can, Do - Those Who Can Do More, Volunteer

    Getting out of the service doesn’t mean you have to stop having someone's back or living heroic values like courage and integrity. Hope Health Care has an opportunity for you to continue to serve others but on your own time and in your way.

    Hope Health Care serves veterans who are on Hospice care. They need an ally who will assist them with completing their final mission in life. Hospice provides Medicare entitled services for the veteran to feel comfortable and free of pain. But that doesn’t mean these veterans are not full of life. The veterans we serve have amazing stories to share with those willing to listen. They can engage heartily and leave you feeling more grateful than you expected to feel when you arrived.

    If you want to help a veteran approach their final days with courage and dignity, please reach out to us today regarding this incredible opportunity. We are certain you will be glad you did.
