We Honor Veterans

Hospice of the Panhandle Receives We Honor Veterans Level Two Status

Hospice of the Panhandle was recently recognized by the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO) for their commitment to ensuring Veterans have access to quality end-of-life care.

We Honor Veterans is a program of the NHPCO, in collaboration with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), which is focused on respectful inquiry, compassionate listening and grateful acknowledgment. Hospices can “earn their stars” and ability to display the matching logo by completing activities for each of the four levels of commitment. This enables VA staff and Veterans to easily identify hospices that have made a commitment to offer Veteran-specific care and services provided by a competent and highly skilled workforce. This accomplishment is the second of four levels Hospice of the Panhandle can achieve as a We Honor Veterans Partner and assures that the organization provides Veteran-centric education for staff and volunteers, and identifies patients with military experience.

Hospice of the Panhandle has identified over a dozen patients who are Veterans and are currently receiving care from Hospice. These individuals as well as any future Veterans are recognized with a pin and certificate in appreciation of their service.
