Make a Difference. Honor a Legacy. Serve Those Who Served.

At Ohio’s Hospice, we believe every veteran deserves to be honored, recognized, and cared for with dignity at the end of life. As an American Pride Coordinator, you’ll play a meaningful role in connecting veterans, their families, and our community with compassionate hospice care and meaningful veteran-centered programs.

• Serve as a primary hospice representative within the veteran community.
• Identify and develop new community partnerships and referral opportunities.
• Participate in veteran events, networking opportunities, and community programs.

• Help develop and implement veteran-focused recognition and outreach initiatives.
• Collaborate with the hospice foundation and internal teams to strengthen veteran programming.
• Help ensure veteran-specific needs, benefits, and recognition opportunities are addressed.
• Assist with coordinating Honor Flight participation for eligible hospice patients.

Create Meaningful Moments of Recognition

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in healthcare, marketing, business, social work, or a related field preferred.
• Previous hospice, healthcare sales, community outreach, or business development experience strongly preferred.
• Experience working with veterans or a military background highly desirable.
• Exceptional relationship-building and communication skills.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with interdisciplinary teams.
• Event planning and program coordination experience is a plus.
• Valid driver’s license with a safe driving record.

Why This Role Matters

This is more than a community outreach position. It’s an opportunity to make sure those who served our country know that their service is remembered and honored.

Every connection you make, every ceremony you help coordinate, and every veteran you advocate for can create a meaningful difference for patients and their families during one of life’s most important journeys.

If you’re passionate about serving others, building meaningful community relationships, and honoring our nation’s veterans, we’d love to hear from you.
