Veterans Care

Through the We Honor Veterans Program, we are partnering with the Veterans Administration and NHPCO to provide quality care, focusing on the particular psychosocial, physical, and spiritual aspects of end-of-life care for Veterans and their families. We celebrate our volunteer team, who work tirelessly and generously to support patients and their families. We encourage you to watch this video of our volunteer Bruce Beckert sharing his experience serving and honoring Veterans with Montgomery Hospice and Prince George’s Hospice.

We Honor Veterans

At Montgomery Hospice and Prince George’s Hospice, we understand that each patient and family has a unique life story and a specific set of needs. We are committed to focusing on the particular psycho-social, physical, and spiritual aspects of end-of-life care for Veterans.

We pledge to honor them, and we have partnered with the Veterans Administration and the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization to provide quality care to veterans and their families.

By recognizing the unique needs of America’s Veterans and their families, we are able to gentle the journey of them through their illness and loss, making sure they receive the best quality care possible. Our staff conduct specialized pinning ceremonies for our Veteran patients and their families to celebrate their distinguished service and achievements.

As a We Honor Veterans Partner, our organization is able to identify and assist with the specific needs of our veterans and their family members.
