Volunteers Honoring Veterans

Make a significant difference in the lives of individuals receiving hospice care and their families by becoming a volunteer with Interim HealthCare. We offer rewarding opportunities to share your empathy and support during this critical time.Hospice is an integrated program of medical, spiritual, and social care for terminally ill patients in their last six months of life. It is founded on the belief that the final stage of life should be lived with the greatest degree of comfort and dignity possible. We believe in enhancing the quality of life when quantity is limited and respecting patient decisions to forgo extraordinary measures meant only to prolong life. Interim Hospice & Palliative Care, in partnership with the patient, family, professionals, and trained volunteers, enables the patient to remain as free as possible from suffering and distressing symptoms of disease. Our team approach provides the best possible care to patients and their families during the last phase of life’s journey.,A Veteran volunteer is a person who has served or is currently serving in the military, visiting a Veteran on Hospice. Vet to Vet builds comradery that nonmilitary members can't relate to. Some things our Veteran Volunteers have done in the past are presenting veterans with a certificate and pin of gratitude for their service during a recognition ceremony when they come onto hospice care. They assist in planning and attending special activities and events for veterans. Veteran Volunteers also routinely visit Veteran Hospice patients and build relationships with them. As a Veteran, you will have first priority when we have a veteran looking for a companion volunteer. Great for Veterans, ROTC, active duty, military family members etc.Duties (any one activity will be very helpful) -Assisting in special events or one on one with a Veteran, Veteran Legacy boards, and more.Watch our video to learn more One Veteran's Hospice Story
