Visit Veteran patients & Participate in ceremonies of recognition

Save to Favorites

The Veteran-to-Veteran Volunteer Program aims to pair recruited Veteran Volunteers with hospice patients who have been identified as Veterans and are interested in receiving visits from a Veteran volunteer.

Veteran Volunteers have the unique ability to relate to and connect with Veteran patients, thereby creating an environment where life review and healing may occur.

Veteran volunteers can provide support to Veteran hospice patients in a variety of ways, including:

• Visit Veteran patients - Veteran volunteers can provide Veteran patients with companionship. While in-person visits are recommended, some Veteran hospice patients prefer to connect with volunteers via telephone or video call.
• Participate in ceremonies of recognition - Veteran volunteers play a pivotal role in ceremonies of recognition in the patient homes or in care homes to express gratitude for a patient’s service
• Benefits assistance - Veteran volunteers may assist the patient in contacting the VA's so the patient can learn about VA benefits.
