How Do We Honor Veterans?

Heritage Hospice, Inc. staff is proud to have achieved Level Five—the highest level— in the “We Honor Veterans Program.” This national program guides our hospice in how to provide the best end-of-life care possible to veterans in Boyle, Garrard, Lincoln and Mercer Counties.

To better serve veterans Heritage Hospice, Inc. has:
Added a military history checklist to medical records.
Pairs veteran volunteers with veteran patients when possible.
Honors veterans with certificates and pinning.

Educates staff about topics related to care of veterans, such as seeking veteran benefits and opportunities like the Honor Flight to see monuments in Washington, D.C.
Hosts an annual Veterans Appreciation Day to honor all veterans.
