For more than 34 years, United Hospice has proudly honored our nation’s veterans. We need to show our appreciation to those who have sacrificed so much to serve our country. Our organization has partnered with We Honor Veterans and is proud to be recognized as a Level Four Hospice Partner. This designation allows us to improve our service delivery to each veteran under United Hospice’s care.
How United Hospice Honors The Lives Of Veterans
Through our partnership with We Honor Veterans, when a veteran begins receiving hospice care from United Hospice, we work to bring the patient’s family together for a Pinning Ceremony. A pinning ceremony allows us to honor each veteran in a unique way that acknowledges their commitment to our country. Surrounded by family and friends, the patient is pinned by a fellow veteran and a United Hospice team member presents them with a commemorative American Flag. Each pinning ceremony is videotaped, and photographs are taken to create a keepsake for the family.
We are proud to have been a part of the following veterans’ lives:
-
- Frank Fornario- WWII Veteran
-
- Anthony DeCoro- Korean War Veteran
-
- Earl Williams- WWII Veteran
