Veteran Connection- San Diego

Veterans and active military members and their families share an unwavering bond. At Uni Care Hospice, we honor that camaraderie and match volunteers and patients who are veterans or active military members.

Check out the Uni Care Hospice volunteer opportunities listed on VolunteerMatch.org (Care for the Caregiver, Life Companion, Pet Therapy Team, Complementary Therapy Provider, and Hospice Staff and Admin Support) for specific details about each opportunity that correlates with ways to support veteran and active military hospice patients and their families. Feel free to contact us for more information and to share ideas about how you can help.

• As a Level Three Partner in the We Honor Veterans

program, it is an honor to provide care and services for our Veterans and their families. We care for Veterans by recognizing their service and the impact that their service may have at the end of life.

The Uni Care Hospice team realizes our Veteran patients may experience service-related diseases or illnesses that may affect them from both clinical and benefits perspectives. As a result, care is tailored to meet these needs.

Our Veteran patients are recognized with certificates of service and pinning ceremonies as well as being offered Veteran memorial services.

We Honor Veterans is a collaboration between the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to help improve the care Veterans receive from hospice and palliative care providers.
