Why Veteran‑Centered Care Matters
Over 300,000 Veterans die each year in the United States. However, 95% of Veterans receive health care outside of the VA at the end of life. Therefore, many Veterans and their families are not aware of the end‑of‑life services and benefits they are entitled to.

​About the We Honor Veterans Program
We Honor Veterans was launched in 2010 by the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO) and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to address the growing need for Veteran‑centered end‑of‑life care, especially as Veterans from different service eras are aging and require access to Veteran‑centric palliative and hospice care. The We Honor Veterans program encourages respectful inquiry, compassionate listening, and grateful acknowledgment, coupled with Veteran‑centric education of healthcare staff caring for Veterans.

Our Commitment to Veterans
We Honor Veterans provides tiered recognition to organizations that demonstrate a systematic commitment to improving care for Veterans at life’s end. As a We Honor Veterans partner, Comforting Hands Hospice of Grove has implemented Veteran‑centric education for staff, integrated intake processes for identifying Veterans, and begun to establish community partnerships with other hospice providers and Veterans organizations.
Veteran-Centric Education
Our team receives ongoing training focused on the unique needs of Veterans, ensuring care is compassionate, informed, and respectful of their service.
Community Partnerships
We collaborate with other hospice providers and local Veterans’ organizations to build a stronger network of care and support for Veterans and their families.
Veteran Identification
at Intake
From the very first interaction, we identify Veterans so we can immediately tailor support and connect them with the benefits and resources they’ve earned.
Specialized Tools & Support
Whether related to military service, combat experience, or other traumatic events, we provide resources and guidance to help Veterans and their families find peace and healing.
We recognize the unique needs of our nation’s Veterans as they face a life-limiting illness. With deep gratitude for their service, we are committed to guiding Veterans and their families toward a more peaceful ending. When specific needs arise related to military service, combat experiences, or other traumatic events, we provide the tools, resources, and compassionate support needed to honor their journey with dignity and care.
