Veteran-to-Veteran Volunteers

For our Caris staff and volunteers, it is both a privilege and an honor, as reflected by our participation in the We Honor Veterans program, to serve those who served. We enlist volunteers, many of whom are veterans themselves, for our veteran patients.

Our veteran volun­teers possess a profound understanding of the needs of other veterans. They sacrificed while in uniform and continue to serve by making a difference in the lives of our veteran patients and their loved ones.

My motivation, as a veteran volunteer, is to pay the veteran back for their time and service to our nation. Veterans seem to open up to other veterans and are more willing to share their stories and experiences. As a veteran myself, I find the volunteer experience to be very rewarding. -Jim Loftis, Caris Veteran-to-Veteran Volunteer
