Veteran to Veteran Care Volunteer - Hospice

Join a Mission of Compassion: Veteran-to-Veteran Hospice Volunteering

Just as military service is built on unity, purpose, and dedication, hospice care thrives on teamwork and compassion. At Star Hospice—a proud member of the LHC Group family—we’ve been honored to serve Lake, Cook, and McHenry Counties for over 40 years.

We invite you to bring your experience and heart to our Veteran-to-Veteran volunteer program, where veteran hospice patients are paired with fellow veterans who understand their journey. These connections offer comfort, dignity, and a shared bond that only those who’ve served can truly provide.

Veteran volunteers make a meaningful impact through activities such as:

• Sharing stories, reading, or simply sitting together
• Writing letters or helping with memory projects
• Watching sports or listening to music
• Participating in veteran recognition ceremonies
• Assisting with light house or yard work
• Helping replace lost military awards
• Making friendly check-in calls

As proud partners of the We Honor Veterans program, we provide all the training you need to support fellow service members and their families with compassionate, in-home hospice care.

Your service doesn’t have to end—it can take on new meaning.

Join us in honoring veterans through connection, comfort, and care.
