Volunteers sought for VA program Montana VA Health Care System is looking for some special volunteers to be part of a unique program â No Veteran Dies Alone. No Veteran Dies Alone is a program that provides a reassuring presence of a compassionate companion to Veterans who would otherwise be alone at the end of their life. âDying is a sacred journey, and to witness and ease this transition is sacred work,â said Jessica Helms, (RN) the Clinical Care Coordinator â Inpatient Nursing/Emergency Department at MTVAHCS. âWhile the impact is significant, the qualifications are few. It simply requires your time, your presence and your compassion.â
