    Description

    Veterans Needed to Visit Veteran Hospice Patients

    Have you served in the Military?

    Overlook Hospice is recruiting Veteran volunteers to help our Veteran hospice patients.

    Veterans have unique needs at end of life which are best served by another Veteran. Your experience helps you relate to and connect with our Veteran patients and their families.

    What veteran hospice patients need:

    • An opportunity for life review and healing
    • Help documenting memories
    • Assistance with replacing lost medals
    • Appreciation for their service

    What you have to share:

    • Common life experiences
    • Shared language and service
    • A mutual code of conduct and honor
    • First-hand appreciation of their service
    • Cultural bonds to foster trust

    Please consider participating in this innovative program for serving Veterans at the end of life.

    If you would like more information please contact Debbie Towne at 508-434-2324 or email at dtowne@overlook-mass.org
