Hospice of Northeast Missouri Honors Veterans

As our nation celebrates Veterans Day we stop to salute and say thank you to all the men and women who have bravely served our country in the military.
Hospice of Northeast Missouri is honored and humbled to participate in an innovative program of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization, created in collaboration with the Department of Veterans Affairs, titled We Honor Veterans.
The goal of this pioneering program is simple – to care for and honor those who have served when they reach the end of life. The program focuses on respectful inquiry, compassionate listening and grateful acknowledgment of their service. These fellow Americans have made profound sacrifices in defense of freedom and they deserve our heartfelt thanks and appreciation. Honoring our nation’s Veterans includes supporting them throughout their entire lives, especially at the end.  More information on the national We Honor Veterans program can be found at www.wehonorveterans.org or for local program information please reach out to Volunteer Coordinator, Lisa Bunch, at Hospice of Northeast Missouri by calling 660.627.9711.
