Nurse Honor Guard Volunteer
Nurse Honor Guard volunteers help honor fellow nurses at the end of life through bedside tributes and funeral services. Volunteers participate as their availability allows, joining other Nurse Honor Guard members to recognize a nurse’s service, dedication and impact through a meaningful ceremonial tribute.
