Hospital Ethics: Inpatient Hospice Care by State

Specialty Portal for the WRNMMC Hospital Ethics Committee, or any interested in hospital ethics or medical ethics.

Inpatient Hospice Care by State

This is a TEST site of information.  Please feel free to take a look at all the information under each state.  We are starting with states that Veterans are most likely from that come to WRNMMC and would like to return for their end-of-life care.

We Honor Veterans

There is the We Honor Veterans (WHV) -- this is great but you still have to find the information for each individual state.  

We Honor Veterans, a program of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO) in collaboration with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), invites hospices, state hospice organizations, Hospice-Veteran Partnerships and VA facilities to join a pioneering program focused on respectful inquiry, compassionate listening and grateful acknowledgment. By recognizing the unique needs of America’s Veterans and their families, community providers, in partnership with VA staff, will learn how to accompany and guide them through their life stories toward a more peaceful ending.
