    Description

    Calling veterans! Veterans are invited to volunteer as Patient Visitors to other veterans who are on hospice care at Penn Medicine Hospice, at a patient's home or in a Long-Term Care Facility in Center City Philadelphia and the five surrounding counties.

    Duties: To provide a meaningful visit to another veteran who has been admitted to Penn Hospice. Your visit would recognize the patient's service; lend a listening ear; bring comfort and meaning to the patient and his/her family; provide an opportunity to reminisce; and bring honor and dignity to the patient's contribution to all Americans.

    Requirements:

    • Be a veteran or an active member of one of the branches of the US Armed Forces; have the desire to recognize and honor fellow veterans; be flexible in scheduling visits when veterans are admitted; have the ability to provide a respectful presence and caring companionship to a veteran/hospice patient.
    • Communicate with team
    • Days and times will be on an "as needed" basis, depending upon the presence of veterans in our program. When a veteran is admitted to our hospice service, you will be contacted to see if you could visit once, or multiple times, while the vet/patient is in our care.
