Vet-to-Vet Volunteering
♡ SaveAbout this opportunity
A Veteran's military service can impact their end-of-life experience which makes their situation different from that of a civilian. The Vet-to-Vet relationship is so unique; it's sometimes the only encounter in which a veteran will open up about their experiences. AccentCare Hospice honors and supports our veteran patients during this time. We are in need of Veterans to:
Provide comradeship and companionship to patients.
Assist at Veteran Pinning Ceremonies.
Educate staff on Veteran issues.
AccentCare Hospice provides service to patients in their homes or nursing facilities located throughout Temple, Harker Height's, Killeen, Cove, Lampasas Volunteers typically provide 1-3 hours a week of service. Free screening and training are provided.
