AHN Healthcare@Home is proud to be a partner in the We Honor Veterans Program. This program was developed by the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO) in collaboration with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to specifically recognize the unique needs of America’s Veterans and their families.
At 18 years old, James Foster joined the United States Navy and was commissioned and served aboard the USS Worcester from 1948-1951. James then went on to serve our country for another 37 years in the Military Sea Lift Command and retired as a Seaman 3rd Class.
When Healthcare@Home Hospice Chaplain Timothy Wheeler learned that the USS Worchester Association was giving away deck planks to “plank owners,” he was able to acquire one for James, his hospice patient. Instead of Tim just giving the plank to James himself, he thought it would be fitting to honor James by having a group of officers visit James in his home and present this very special recognition and gift to him. What a wonderful way to honor our veteran!
Our expertise in Veteran communication and care enables us to accompany and guide them through their journey toward a more peaceful end of life.
