Many Americans do not realize that one in four of all deaths in the U.S. are Veterans. As the nation honors these American heroes for their military service on Veterans Day, Nov. 11, it’s important to remember that they also deserve recognition and compassionate care when dealing with a serious illness.

As a We Honor Veterans community partner, Kosciusko Home Care & Hospice, Inc. is providing specialized care to Veterans who are facing a life-limiting illness.

The National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization in collaboration with the Department of Veterans Affairs created We Honor Veterans to empower hospice and other healthcare providers across America to meet the unique needs of seriously ill Veterans and their families.

As we celebrate our nation’s heroes this Veterans Day – and every day of the year – we must not forget that it is never too late to give them a hero’s welcome home.
