By recognizing the unique needs of America’s Veterans and their families, community providers, in partnership with VA staff, will learn how to accompany and guide them through their life stories toward a more peaceful ending.

We Honor Veterans **also provides tiered recognition to organizations, known as [Partners](https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wehonorveterans.org%2Fhospice-partners%2F&data=04%7C01%7C%7Ca6eed55ac26d44b6ef9108d91fab0ee9%7C7999a44ef22441fba977872bd5b3dd24%7C0%7C0%7C637575641831409944%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=CrowmedajYr3efbUa6tykiW8ajnirufcGjxDgVQCnEE%3D&reserved=0), that demonstrate a systematic commitment to improving care for veterans. There are five levels that partners can achieve in the program. Partner organizations assess their ability to serve veterans and, using [resources](https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wehonorveterans.org%2Fget-practical-resources%2F&data=04%7C01%7C%7Ca6eed55ac26d44b6ef9108d91fab0ee9%7C7999a44ef22441fba977872bd5b3dd24%7C0%7C0%7C637575641831409944%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=EQNLhZCiFqUFl%2BYsbLNuZDb7UhjIm7P3kBBJZg77VHc%3D&reserved=0) provided as part of the program, integrate best practices for providing end-of-life care to veterans into their organization.
The We Honor Veterans program is provided at no cost to hospice organizations and you do not need to be a current member of NHPCO to become or remain a Level 1-4 partner in the program. The goal of the program is simple – to care for and honor those who have served when they reach the end of life. By working through the partner levels and participating in community partnerships and collaborations, partner organizations are able to educate, engage, and expand awareness to Veterans and their families. A vast majority of Veterans are not enrolled in VA and may not be aware of end-of-life services and benefits available to them, including the Medicare Hospice Benefit and VA-paid hospice care.
We at Old Colony Hospice are grateful to have achieved Level 4 We Honor Veterans.
