Suncoast Hospice Joins We Honor Veterans

The Suncoast Hospice veterans program has been designated as a partner level one for the We Honor Veterans program of National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO) and Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

We Honor Veterans is comprised of community hospices, state hospice organizations, VA facilities and other organizations that serve veterans at the end of life. The program provides access to many educational resources to help hospice professionals meet the unique needs of dying veterans to bring them peace and comfort.

Marci Pruitt, Suncoast Hospice’s vice president of programs, shares, “We’re pleased to have achieved this level of national recognition. Suncoast Hospice remains honored and committed to serving the veterans in our community.”

Our Suncoast Hospice veterans program includes special recognition and support to veterans in our care, including presentations of pins and certificates and a volunteer program that provides visits with volunteers who’ve served in the military. Our staff and volunteers also take part in veterans-related education, outreach and partnerships. Two of our ongoing partnerships to honor our local veterans are Veterans History Project and Honor Flight of West Central Florida.
