We understand that Veterans may have unique needs at the end of life. With that in mind, we provide specialized services for our Veteran patients that include:
- A Veteran-to-Veteran Volunteer Program
- Transitioning Veterans across venues of care, including VA medical centers
- Assistance for Veterans and families to access benefits
In partnership with We Honor Veterans, a program of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization and the Department of Veterans Affairs, Heart of Texas Hospice has achieved a level three achievement. Through this partnership, we have taken a number of actions, including:
- Conducting Veteran-specific outreach presentations
- Maintaining a relationship with a designated VA contact at the nearest VA medical or community clinic
- Integrating the Military History Checklist into our admission procedures
- Maintaining policies and procedures reflecting commitment and service to veterans
