Grand Lake Hospice Reaches New Level of National Veterans Program
Grand Lake Hospice delivers Veteran-centric care to the community as a We Honor Veterans partner
St. Marys, Ohio – Grand Lake Hospice is proud to announce it is now a Level Three Partner with We Honor Veterans, a program of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO). The progression to this new level demonstrates a high level of commitment to Veteran-centric care in the community.
NHPCO and the Department of Veterans Affairs launched We Honor Veterans in 2010 to address the growing need for Veteran-centered care, especially as Veterans from different eras are aging and need access to Veteran-centric palliative and hospice care. Learn more about the We Honor Veterans program at www.WeHonorVeterans.org.
As a partner, Grand Lake Hospice provides specialized care to Veterans who are facing a serious illness. This includes coordination of a Veteran-to-Veteran volunteer program, training staff on conflict-specific medical and mental health concerns and ensuring up to date knowledge to assist Veterans in navigating VA benefits.
We are so proud of the work and energy that Grand Lake Hospice team members along with numerous Veteran’s organizations put in so that we could achieve this recognition. Through these collaborative efforts Grand Lake Hospice has improved Veteran centric care to those who valiantly served to protect our freedom.
