Honoring our nation’s Veterans includes not only acknowledging their service and sacrifice, but also supporting them throughout their entire lives. HIA Hospice has had the honor of providing care for thousands of Veterans since our founding in 1981.
Approximately 25 percent of those who die every year in the U.S. are those who served in the military. To reflect the important contributions made by these men and women, HIA Hospice participates in the We Honor Veterans program that focuses on Veteran-specific programs for end-of-life care.
The program is a partnership between the National Alliance for Care at Home and the Department of Veterans Affairs to empower hospice organizations to meet the unique needs of dying Veterans and their families.
HIA Hospice accompanies and guides Veterans and their families toward a more peaceful end through recognizing the unique needs of those who served in the military. In cases where there might be some specific needs related to military service, combat experience or traumatic events, HIA Hospice has the specialized resources and training to help.
Our staff and volunteers, some of whom have served in the military themselves, take great pride in honoring Veteran patients and their families.
Partners in Service
Our Veterans deserve the highest-quality end-of-life care possible. HIA Hospice is honored to partner with several organizations to help ensure hospice services are available to Veterans in our region. Through our partnerships with the Veterans Administration Medical Center, the North Dakota Veterans Home and various fraternal organizations, we continually look for ways to grow and improve our outreach to Veterans and their families.
We have a special need for volunteers who have served in the military. Are you interested in volunteering with Veterans? Get started here.
We extend our thanks to the many people who have served in the military and their families, who have allowed us to give back by serving those who have served for us. It is truly an honor and a privilege to provide care for these American heroes.
