At Heartland Hospice, we serve multiple US Veterans and their families everyday. It is our commitment to provide the best service to all of our patients, however we are aware that some Veterans are more willing to speak to someone else who shares some of their experiences.
We are looking for Veterans who would be willing to share their time and speak with other Veterans so they know they are not facing this tough fight alone. Sharing stories about life, family, and your military experiences can create an instant bond and brotherhood/sisterhood.

Mission Statement
To provide exceptional care with empathy for our patient and their families so they may live with comfort, dignity and respect.
Description
Heartland Hospice volunteers offer support, companionship and practical, compassionate help. Some interact directly with patients and families. Others prefer to work behind the scenes in the office setting. As a hospice volunteer, you become a valuable part of our care team and play a vital role in improving the quality of life for those in our care. There are so many ways to help; everything from spending time with a patient, running an errand, or doing light housekeeping to even providing invaluable administrative support. Contact us today and our hospice volunteer coordinator will help you find the best way to help.
THE TASKS OF VOLUNTEERS MAY INCLUDE:- Helping with office support tasks at the agency
- Running errands for patients and families
- Staying with patients so family members can get a much-needed rest
- Reading, or providing a comforting touch
- Playing or singing soothing music to patients
- Keeping vigil with patients in their final hours
- Providing a friendly visit to lift a patient's spirits
- Providing special veteran volunteer support to patients who are veterans
* We suggest volunteers wait a minimum of one year following the death of a loved one to volunteer. This allows adequate time to make appropriate adjustments after a significant personal loss.
