    Description

    Serve Once More: Honor a Fellow Veteran in Their Final Chapter

    There is a unique bond between those who have worn the military uniform—a shared language of duty, honor, and sacrifice. For a terminally ill veteran in hospice care, the presence of a fellow service member brings a level of trust, peace, and understanding.

    Join our Veteran-to-Veteran Volunteer Program to ensure no veteran completes their journey alone.

    What You Will Do

    • Peer Companionship: Spend quiet, meaningful time swapping stories, reviewing military memories, or sitting in simple camaraderie.
    • Honor & Pinning Ceremonies: Help present military recognition pins, certificates, and final salutes to honor a patient’s service.
    • Respite for Families: Provide a comforting presence so family members can take a short, well-deserved break.

    Time Commitment & Schedule

    We know your time is valuable. We offer total flexibility to fit your schedule:

    • Time Investment: Just 1 to 2 hours per week (or bi-weekly).
    • Scheduling: Flexible weekday or weekend visits (mornings or afternoons based on your availability).
    • Location: Local visits to patients in private homes, assisted living communities, or skilled nursing facilities in your area.

    Onboarding & Clearances

    To ensure patient safety and compliance with healthcare regulations, we guide you step-by-step through a straightforward, cost-free onboarding process:

    • Military Status: Open to Veterans, Active Duty, National Guard, and Reservists (all branches/ranks).
    • Background Clearance: Standard background check and reference checks.
    • Health Screenings: Routine TB (tuberculosis) test and other health screenings & testing.
    • Training & Orientation: Comprehensive, self-paced hospice orientation and training.
