Through our "Vets for Vets" program, volunteers who have served in the military (or are still active) will have the unique ability to support our veteran patients who are terminally ill. Heartland Hospice volunteers help to support and enhance the quality of life of those they visit.
Volunteer hours are flexible and most volunteers spend 2-4 hours a month visiting. Patients are located throughout Washington and Ozaukee County.
Bringing the gift of friendship to our patients through scheduled visits, these volunteers offer services such as: companionship by just being present for the patient and offering to talk or assisting with non-medical tasks; emotional support through listening, sharing experiences and stories; allowing for expression of feelings; holding a hand; giving a needed hug; offering words of comfort; and respite support by staying with the patient while the caregiver enjoys a moment alone to run errands, make appointments, or simply take time to care for themself.
We recognize that veterans share a special bond among each other. The goal of our "Vets for Vets" program is to match veteran patients with a hospice-trained veteran who may have a similar background. All patient visitation volunteers receive training regarding the philosophy of hospice, the role of the volunteer and other staff members, as well as, helpful skills in caring for and communicating with hospice patients and their families. Volunteers in our veterans program also receive additional training focused on a veteran's specific needs. Volunteer hours are flexible and scheduled according to your availability.
Interested applicants must be at least 18-years-old, fill out initial application paperwork, agree to a background and reference check, attend a volunteer orientation and complete two TB tests.
