Franklin, TN – Traditions Health is proud to announce our Spartanburg, South Carolina branch is now a Level One Partner with We Honor Veterans (WHV), a pioneering program developed by the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO) in collaboration with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
We Honor Veterans was launched in 2010 by NHPCO and the 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.
We Honor Veterans provides tiered recognition to organizations that demonstrate a systematic commitment to improving care for veterans at life’s end. As a Level One WHV partner, Traditions Health of Spartanburg 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. By recognizing the unique needs of our nation’s veterans who are facing a life-limiting illness, Traditions Health of Spartanburg is better able to guide veterans and their families toward a more peaceful ending.
“Our organization is committed to honoring our veteran patients by providing exceptional end-of-life care, support, and recognition. We are truly privileged to care for and honor veterans and their families,” said Brian Lantier, CEO, Traditions Health.
