We Honor Veterans Campaign Partner
It may surprise some people to learn that 25% of those who die every year in the U.S. are veterans.
To help provide care and support that reflect the significant contributions made by these men and women, Valir Hospice has become a national partner of the We Honor Veterans campaign. This pioneering campaign was developed by the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization in collaboration with the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Honoring Our Hard-Working Heroes
As a We Honor Veterans Partner, we will implement ongoing veteran-centered education for staff and volunteers to help improve the care we provide to the veterans we proudly serve. Unfortunately, the nation is seeing many of the veterans who served in World War II and Korea pass away—and the number of deaths of Vietnam veterans begin to rise.
Commitment To Compassionate & Improved Veteran Care
The We Honor Veterans campaign provides tiered recognition to organizations that demonstrate a systematic commitment to improving care for veterans. “Partners” can assess their ability to serve veterans and, using resources provided as part of the campaign, integrate best practices for providing end-of-life care to veterans in their organization. By recognizing the unique needs of our nation’s veterans who face life-limiting illnesses, Valir Hospice can better accompany and guide veterans and their families toward a more peaceful ending.
And in cases where there might be some specific needs related to the veteran’s military service, combat experience, or other traumatic events, Valir Hospice will find tools to help support those they are caring for. The resources of We Honor Veterans focus on respectful inquiry, compassionate listening, and grateful acknowledgment, coupled with veteran-centric education of health care staff caring for veterans.
