Vet to Vet Hospice: North Branch

VET TO VET VOLUNTEERSoffer a unique ability to relate and connect to fellow veteran patients, either as a companion or while conducting veteran pinning ceremonies.

LOCATION

Our hospice services are provided wherever one calls home, which could include a private home or care community, such as assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing facilities.

HOW TO GET INVOLVED

First, ask yourself:

• Are you a veteran yourself?
• Can you commit to a minimum of four hours a month for six months?
• Are you comfortable with death and the dying process, or have an openness and willingness to learn?

If yes to all of the above, the following are steps to getting involved, typically taking 3-4 weeks to complete:

• Interview with a member of our volunteer services team
• Submit to background and reference checks
• Complete online training, at your own pace
• Attend virtual wrap-up session
