Job description

Veteran-to-Veteran Visits for Hospice Patients

Luminary Hospice is seeking veterans to share time with hospice patients who are also veterans in the Mount Vernon area, as well as throughout Knox, Morrow and Licking Counties.

An hour of your time will brighten the day of another veteran. Veterans have a special connection with each other - share that with a hospice patient.

What does a Veteran-to-Veteran Volunteer do?

Veteran-to-Veteran Volunteers provide companionship for fellow veteran(s) who are on hospice. These patients enjoy spending time reminiscing and sharing their common experiences with another veteran.

What if I don’t have any experience?

Luminary Hospice provides exceptional training for its volunteers. Hospice volunteers receive the same orientation as paid staff in addition to their volunteer-specific training. Our training covers hospice history and basics, as well as special considerations surrounding grief, ethics, and bereavement. You only need to bring an open heart and a willingness to serve others, and we will train you.

Why volunteer with us?

Luminary is doing hospice differently. Our interdisciplinary team is comprised of professionals who are genuinely passionate about hospice care. We depend on our volunteers to complement the exceptional service that we offer our patients. Volunteers help us provide end of life care that far exceeds hospice standards and our patients’ and family’s expectations.

Join our team of amazing volunteers!

Veteran-to-Veteran volunteers provide their availability to the Luminary Hospice Volunteer Coordinator, schedule time(s) convenient for them, and spend as much time as they choose with a patient.

Volunteer orientations are offered each month. Apply through Idealist, call or email for more information or to register for an upcoming orientation.
