Veteran-to-Veteran Visits for Hospice Patients

Luminary Hospice is seeking veterans to share time with hospice patients who are also veterans.

An hour of your time will brighten the day of another veteran. Veterans have a special connection with each other - share that with a hospice patient.

What does a Veteran-to-Veteran Volunteer do?

Veteran-to-Veteran Vounteers provide companionship for fellow veteran(s) who are on hospice. These patients enjoy spending time reminiscing and sharing their common experiences with another veteran.

What if I don’t have any experience?

Luminary Hospice provides exceptional training for its volunteers. Hospice volunteers receive the same orientation as paid staff in addition to their volunteer-specific training.Our training covers hospice history and basics, as well asspecial considerations surrounding grief, ethics, and bereavement. You only need to bring an open heart and a willingness to serve others, and we will train you.
