Providence Hospice Earns Level Three Designation from Veterans Organization
Providence Hospice recently achieved the distinction of We Honor Veterans Partner Level Three for their exceptional work meeting the needs of veterans and their families in end of life care. “Our staff members and volunteers were able to make this happen because of their dedication and their care toward the miltary veterans we serve,” says Annette McClain, Providence Hospice Volunteer Coor- dinator. “We achieved this designation a few months earlier than we expected to because of their heartfelt commitment to continually learn more about the unique needs of veterans on hospice.” As a We Honor Veterans Partner, there are five lev- els that Providence Hospice can achieve. Each level shows that Providence has completed specific activ-
ities using practical resources to progressively in- crease their ability to serve veterans. Moving through the partner levels shows that Providence Hospice has increased their knowledge and capacity to serve veterans. It also demonstrates that Providence Hos- pice is making an active commitment to veterans, providing compassionate care that is specific to each person’s needs and goals. Level 3 specifically shows that Providence has purposely developed and strengthened relation- ships with VA medical centers and other veteran organizations. It also shows Providence Hospice continues to integrate veteran-specific content into staff and volunteer orientation and education within the organization. Thank you to all the staff and volunteers at Prov- idence Hospice for their dedication to caring for veterans and their families.
