Heartland Hospice is looking to expand its superstar volunteer team in Kenosha and Racine counties!
As a member of the We Honor Veteran's program, we at Heartland Hospice pride ourselves in giving our veteran patients the unique opportunity of being matched with a hospice-trained veteran who may have a similar background. Our Vets for Vets program expands upon our Companion Volunteer program by focusing specifically on the relationship and bonds only veterans can share among themselves.
All patient visitation volunteers receive training regarding the philosophy of hospice, the role of the volunteer and other staff members, and helpful skills in caring for and communicating with hospice patients and their families. Volunteers in our veterans program also receive additional training focused on veteran's specific needs.
If you are a veteran and would like to share your experience, care, and heart with another veteran at the most impactful time in their lives, please contact Heartland's Volunteer Coordinator at 262-652-4730.
Veteran Volunteer Requirements:
- Must be at least 18 years old
- Must have reliable transportation
- Must agree to background and reference check
- TB testing, drug testing
- Must complete all on-boarding training and requirements
