Supporting Veterans- Visiting Nurse Health System

We Honor Veterans is a national campaign that advocates for the hospice care of veterans. It is a collaboration between the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization and the Department of Veterans Affairs which have set standards for all hospice systems concerning end-of-life treatment for these heroic individuals. Veterans often require medical, emotional and spiritual end-of-life care specifically tailored for them.
Hospice Atlanta is greatly honored to be a partner in this important alliance.
To qualify, we have committed to:
Providing veteran-centric education to all our staff.
Administering the highest standard of care and support to our veteran patients and their families.
Strengthening our relationships with the VA medical system and other veteran-based organizations.
Giving veterans and their families increased access to our hospice services.
In addition to these We Honor Veterans’ requirements, Hospice Atlanta provides veterans with other special services, including coordinating care with the VA and helping to assess benefits, conducting special pinning ceremonies celebrating their years of service and connecting veterans to other veterans.
We have a special place in our hearts for these men and women who so bravely served our country. It is how, with our utmost respect, we proudly can be of service to them.
