    Description

    The Veteran-to-Veteran Volunteer Program aims to pair recruited veteran volunteers with hospice patients who have been identified as veterans. Veteran volunteers are important because they are able to form a camaraderie with veteran patients that can help eliminate the stoicism and secrecy that veteran patients often develop from having served in the armed forces.

    Veteran Volunteers can help by:

    • Assist veterans in reminiscing/telling life stories
    • Educate and assist patients in receiving veteran benefits
    • Take part in pinning ceremonies or distribute certificates for Veteran’s Day and other recognition events
    • Friendly visits
    • Improve communication within families
    • Assist in replacing lost medals
    • Provide respite for caregivers
    • Read to patients

    Veteran volunteers have the unique ability to relate and connect with each veteran patient allowing them to become an essential piece in the delivery of quality end-of-life care.
