We Honor Veterans

 

Center for Hospice Care is proud to be part of the “We Honor Veterans” program, a collaboration between the Department of Veterans Affairs and the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization. Its purpose is to raise awareness among veterans of the end-of-life services and benefits available to them.

In 2023, Center for Hospice Care expanded its participation in the “We Honor Veterans” program by achieving Level 5 designation.  As a Level 5 partner, we integrate veteran-specific content into our staff and volunteer orientation and education. Center for Hospice Care is one of just 237 Level 5 partners out of 3,171 programs in the nation.  We are proud to be a 50th Anniversary Vietnam War Commemorative Partner with the Department of Defense. 

We are also proud to now be an official Vietnam War Commemorative Partner with the Department of Defense and were 50th Anniversary Vietnam War Commemorative Partner.

Center for Hospice Care is always looking for veteran volunteers as well. Our Vet-to-Vet volunteers receive specialized training that allow for veterans a special opportunity to care for other veterans during end of life. To lean more about this program, contact Volunteer Services Manager Kristiana Donahue at donahuek@cfhcare.org.
