Delaware Hospice is proud to announce it is now a Level 4 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.
As a partner, Delaware Hospice is providing specialized care to Veterans who are facing a serious illness. This includes a Veteran-to-Veteran volunteer program, training on conflict-specific medical and mental health concerns, and knowledge to assist Veterans in navigating VA benefits.
“We are beyond thrilled to announce that Delaware Hospice has achieved We Honor Veterans Level 4 status, said Provider Services Executive, Krista Hardy. “In any given moment, approximately 25% of our hospice census is represented by Veteran patients. It is imperative that we continue to nurture and build on the foundation we have established.”
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.
