Veteran to Veteran Volunteer Program

We are looking for Veterans who are interested in providing companionship to our patients who are Veterans.

Veteran volunteers can provide support to Veteran hospice patients and contribute to your organization’s WHV program in a variety of ways, including:

• Visit Veteran patients - Veteran volunteers can provide Veteran patients with companionship and facilitate life review. While in-person visits are recommended, organizations may accommodate interested Veteran volunteers who prefer to connect with patients and families via telephone or video call.
• Participate in ceremonies of recognition - Veteran volunteers play a pivotal role in ceremonies of recognition. Such ceremonies can occur in patient homes to express gratitude for a patient’s service or can be held at facilities to engage the broader Veteran community.
• Benefits assistance Skilled Veteran volunteers may also assist Veteran patients and family members in understanding and navigating VA benefits.
