    Description

    Veteran-to-Veteran Support

    Veterans trained as hospice volunteers are uniquely equipped to support veteran patients and their families dealing with end-of-life issues. Explore our many opportunities for veteran volunteers!

    Visit veteran patients. Teach our team about military culture. Lead a Vet-to-Vet Café where we bring coffee and donuts to skilled nursing facilities so veteran residents can come together every month. Conduct Pinning Ceremonies to show our veteran patients that their service is appreciated.

    Call us any time at (719) 543-7847 to ask questions and get started!
