Hospice

I was unable to hear most of the call yesterday. I Was ready to turn in level 2 right as the portal shut down. I have continued my work doing pinning's, my vet to vet volunteer program as well as meeting with all of my state reps locally and going to Harrisburg to talk about we honor veterans and also our specific offering's for veterans care. 

Can someone please point me to something that will show me what this program will now entail? No more levels? what about all the hard work I have already completed? I have every  single speech I have done at legions, vfws and other veterans center documented. As well as the educations I have done with staff. 

We have been doing orientations with new employees as instructed.

We Honor Veterans has been a long‑standing, evolving program. As it continues to grow, it's important to stay anchored in its original purpose and understand why refinement is necessary.
In its early years, the program-designed as an integrity‑based initiative-was often used as a hospice marketing strategy. We must ensure that its true intention is never lost: to improve access to and the quality of community‑based hospice care for Veterans, regardless of the funding source.

Every effort within the program, especially staff development, directly contributes to better care for Veterans. That is the "hard work" that truly makes a difference.

Any adjustments to the We Honor Veterans program should be viewed as part of ensuring it continues to fulfill its mission: improving care for Veterans. When the work leads to better access and higher‑quality care, it is never in vain.

This message is not a formal statement on behalf of any organization. It is simply the perspective of a Veteran who has led hospice initiatives and other efforts to support those who served-regardless of the "why."

On behalf of Veterans and hospice leaders committed to their care, thank you.

Agreed with the sentiment of this statement. But going from a free program to a members only platform is where a lot of the questions come into play. I will continue to strive for the best care and access possible. as will our team
