Volunteer: Veteran-to-Veteran SupportVeterans have given a lot to our country and we thank you for your service! Veterans also seem to relate to each other in ways the average person cannot. At the end of life there is a lot that can be stirred up, memories dislodged, or old feelings re-awakened. At Gentiva Hospice we know that end-of-life is experienced differently by our veterans which is why we pair them with veteran hospice patients. By end-of-life we mean that these veterans have a terminal illness and are probably in their last year of life (but not always). As a veteran volunteer you will be matched with one veteran patient who will be your patient until he/she passes.
Pinning Ceremonies We will also do a veteran pinning ceremony for your veteran patient. He/She will be given a certificate and pinned. Meaningful words are spoken and the veteran patient and veteran volunteer both get a chance to share any stories about being in the service or what being a veteran has meant to them. We take some time to celebrate and honor the veterans and acknowledge their service and sacrifice for this country. Volunteer training and specialized veteran volunteer training is provided. Requirements: be a veteran at least 18 have car insurance pass a background check pass a drug test pass fingerprinting pass a physical TB test within the last year (we give them for free if you need)
