    Description

    Gentiva Hospice is looking for US Miltary Veteran (or actively servng Military) volunteers (ages 18 and up) to help provide support to Veterans with life limiting conditions and their caregivers. Veteran to Veteran Support Volunteeers provide a bond to another Veteran like no one else can. Ameerica's Veterans have done everything asked of them in their mission. It is our mission to serve those that have served us. We believe that it is never too late to give them a hero's welcome home!

    Here are a few examples of how Veteran to Veteran Support Volunteers serve:

    • Provide companionship and emotional support to fellow Veterans and their caregivers
    • Provide respite (sitting with a Veteran/ patient ) while the caregiver run errands
    • Run errands for the Veteran and their caregiver (grocery shopping and other errands as needed)
    • Assisting Veterans in enroliing and accessing VA benefits
    • Participate in our Veteran recognition and pinning ceremonies

    You choose how you want to serve and how often.

    Our volunteers are here to help meet the non-medical needs of our patients, their famlies, and our Gentiva staff.

    No medical experience is needed is needed as volunteers DO NOT perfrom nursing duties or dispense medication. Please leave us your NAME, PHONE NUMBER AND EMAIL ADDRESS so we can get in touch with you to discuss the benefits of becoming a Gentiva Hospice Volunteer.
