Honor Those Who Served: Become a Veteran Volunteer

Have you served in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, Space Force, National Guard, or Reserves? Would you like to make a meaningful difference in the life of a fellow Veteran?

Beacon Hospice, an Amedisys company, is seeking Veteran Volunteers to provide companionship, support, and recognition to Veterans receiving hospice care.

Veterans share a unique bond forged through service, sacrifice, and commitment to something greater than themselves. As a Veteran Volunteer, you can offer comfort, understanding, and camaraderie to fellow service members during an important stage of life.

What You'll Do

As a Veteran Volunteer, you may:

• Visit Veteran patients for companionship and conversation
• Share stories and memories of military service and life experiences
• Read together, write letters, play cards, chess, or board games
• Watch television, listen to music, or simply spend time together
• Provide a listening ear and a connection rooted in shared military experience
• Participate in Veteran Recognition and Pinning Ceremonies that honor a Veteran's service and sacrifice

Who We're Looking For

Whether you served during wartime, peacetime, or anywhere in between, your service and experience can help bring comfort to a fellow Veteran.

Why Volunteer?

Many Veteran hospice patients find comfort in connecting with someone who understands the culture, values, and experiences of military service. Your presence can:

• Reduce loneliness and social isolation
• Create meaningful connections
• Help Veterans feel seen, valued, and appreciated
• Honor their service at the end of life
• Provide support to patients and their families

Commitment & Training

• Flexible scheduling
• Approximately 1–2 hours per week
• Comprehensive hospice volunteer training provided
• Ongoing support from our hospice team

No medical experience is required, just compassion, reliability, and a desire to continue serving others.

Continue Your Legacy of Service

The mission may be different, but the impact is just as meaningful.
