Bellingham, WASH. — PeaceHealth Whatcom Hospice is proud to announce it is now a Level 3 Partner with We Honor Veterans, a program of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization. The progression to this new level demonstrates a high level of commitment to Veteran-centric care in the community.
As a partner, PeaceHealth Whatcom Hospice is providing specialized care to Veterans who are facing a serious illness. This includes a Veteran-to-Veteran volunteer program, training on conflict-specific medical and mental health concerns, and knowledge to assist Veterans in navigating VA benefits. Since partnering with We Honor Veterans in 2012, Whatcom Hospice staff and volunteers have performed more than 400 service recognition pinning ceremonies.
NHPCO and the Department of Veterans Affairs launched We Honor Veterans in 2010 to address the growing need for Veteran-centered care, especially as Veterans from different eras are aging and need access to Veteran-centric palliative and hospice care.
