Through the We Honor Veterans Hospice Partner program, Aegis ensures that veterans and their families are aware of benefits for which they may be eligible. Our hospice staff and volunteers are specially trained to understand how a person’s military service might impact their end of life experience.
As part of the WHV program, Aegis acknowledges each veteran we serve by performing a recognition ceremony, pinning the veteran, and presenting a special certificate. Ceremonies may be kept very intimate or may engage the family and community for a larger, more formal celebration. With respect, we create a ceremony that aligns with the wishes of each veteran and family.
Aegis recognizes the sacrifice made by veterans and their families, and we offer grateful acknowledgment to each person who has served in the military.
Aegis is proud to be a Level 5 partner with the We Honor Veterans organization, a National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO) initiative in collaboration with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), providing care that goes above and beyond for our veteran community.
Aegis recruits and trains veteran-to-veteran volunteers who provide an additional level of support, recognizing the camaraderie of those who have served and matching patients to others who share a similar experience.
Volunteers may also assist with special projects such as replacing a lost medal, helping to reconnect veterans with service comrades, recording stories, or searching for resources related to particular topics of interest.
