Jim Loftis, a Caris Veteran Volunteer from Cookeville, TN told us: "My motivation, as a veteran volunteer, is to pay the veteran back for their time and service to our nation. Veterans seem to open up to other veterans and are more willing to share their stories and experiences. As a veteran myself, I find the volunteer experience to be very rewarding" As much as they sacrificed while in uniform, Caris Veteran Volunteers continue to serve by making a difference in the lives of our veteran patients and their loved ones.
