Volunteers can help in countless ways - their exceptional support to families and staff is indispensable.
Veteran Hospice Volunteers may engage in regular patient visits, which include socializing with patients and/or providing respite for a caregiver. However, veteran volunteers also have an important job called "pinning ceremonies." At these ceremonies, our volunteers recognize veteran patients' service to our country. Volunteers present the patient with a certificate and a star from a retired American flag. They also put a special pin on the veteran patient's lapel. These ceremonies are very moving and often filmed or photographed by patients' loved ones.
