Vet to Vet Hospice: Hector and surrounding

VET TO VET VOLUNTEERS offer a unique ability to relate and connect to fellow veteran patients, either as a companion or while conducting veteran pinning ceremonies. 

LOCATION

Our hospice services are provided wherever one calls home, which could include a private home or care community, such as assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing facilities.

HOW TO GET INVOLVED

First, ask yourself:

• Are you a veteran yourself? 

• Can you commit to a minimum of 4hours a month for 6 months?

• Are you comfortable with death and the dying process, or have an openness and willingness to learn?

• Are you dependable and able to work independently?

If yes to all of the above, the following are steps to getting involved, typically taking 3-4 weeks to complete:

• Interview with a member of our volunteer services team

• Submit to background and reference checks

• Complete online training, at your own pace

• Attend virtual wrap-up session

• A flexible schedule at a location that is convenient for you

• Consistent and accessible staff support
