Job description
Calling veterans! Veterans are invited to volunteer as Patient Visitors for other veterans receiving hospice care at Penn Medicine Hospice, at a patient's home, or in a Long-Term Care Facility in Center City, Philadelphia, and the five surrounding counties.
Duties: To provide a meaningful visit to another veteran who has been admitted to Penn Hospice. Your visit would recognize the patient's service; lend a listening ear; bring comfort and meaning to the patient and his/her family; provide an opportunity to reminisce; and bring honor and dignity to the patient's contribution to all Americans.
Requirements:
Be a veteran or an active member of one of the branches of the US Armed Forces; have the desire to recognize and honor fellow veterans; be flexible in scheduling visits when veterans are admitted; have the ability to provide a respectful presence and caring companionship to a veteran/hospice patient.
Communicate with the team.
Days and times will be on an "as needed" basis, depending upon the presence of veterans in our program. When a veteran is admitted to our hospice service, we will contact you to schedule a single visit or multiple visits while the vet/patient is in our care.
