    Description

    Hospice Veteran Volunteers Visit Patients who are Veterans (& others)

    Are you a Military Veteran who would like to compassionately serve as a hospice volunteer, to visit and make a positive difference for hospice patients who are veterans (and/or hospice patients who are civilians), who request friendly companionship visits?

    During your visits you might: reminisce, look through family photo albums, play a game of cards, go for a walk, or sit in silence and be a comforting presence.

    Our volunteers visit patients throughout the greater-Boston area.

    Our next training will start in September.

    We provide comprehensive training and ongoing support. You can make a meaningful difference in the lives of the patients we serve. If you live in the Greater Boston area, we have patients near you and can arrange timing and visits around your schedule.

    For Information: Please contact Christine Resmini, Volunteer Coordinator (617-969-6130), or visit our website: www.GSCommunityCare.org. Click this link to download a volunteer application: GSCommunityCare.org/Volunteer and scroll down.

    Please contact us if you are interested. Thank you!
