We Honor Veterans Program

Providing the best possible care for veterans in the best possible manner and setting while honoring veterans' preferences.

Veterans and their loved ones have unique needs at the end of life. Military training and the culture of stoicism often prevent Veterans from sharing difficult experiences; the Hospice, We Honor Veterans presentations, can offer a chance for one veteran to speak with another, sharing a common language and code of conduct. Sharing supports life review and emotional healing.

Dr. Robert Kasulke, Hospice Medical Director and a veteran, does many presentations for our Hospice patients. First, he speaks with them about their service, shares experiences, and asks the patient about their military history.

Next, Dr. Kasulke, along with Hospice Director of Volunteers Nancy Morrow, honors the patient with a We Honor Veterans certificate, commemorative pin, and specially crafted afghan by Adriene Chesbro from Mannsville, NY.

The patient's family is also celebrated with a commemorative caregiver pin honoring their support in caring for their loved one.
