    Veteran-to-Veteran Peer Support

    It is with an enormous amount of reverence and gratitude that we care for those who have served in the United States military. Veterans-to-Veterans is a nationally-recognized program that strives to pair recruited veteran volunteers with hospice patients who have been identified as veterans. Once paired, veteran volunteers have the unique ability to relate and connect with patients based on common life experiences.
