We Honor Veterans is a program focused on respectful inquiry, compassionate listening, and grateful acknowledgement for all military veterans who receive care in this facility. The program gives each veteran an opportunity to talk about his/her military service and be assured that his/her service is truly appreciated. The Hospice staff will use a quilt with a patriotic theme to provide veterans with comfort and warmth during their stay.
The Night-N-Gales EHC quilting guild has been a continual contributor to the program.
