Recognizing Service and Providing Care
Taking care of our country’s Veterans one patient at a time.
Embracing Their Stories and Honoring Their Service
Veterans hold a special place in our hearts, and we are proud to have attained the highest level of recognition from the Veterans Administration and the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization for service to our hospice patients who are Veterans.
Throughout the year, we hold social gatherings with Veterans, and our Veteran volunteers frequently visit hospice patients who are Veterans to listen to their stories and offer grateful acknowledgment of their service. We also offer a very personal ceremony during which we present a Veteran with a specially designed pin, giving us another opportunity to thank both our Veterans and the family members that surround them for the sacrifices they made in service to this country.
Honoring Our Veterans with Compassionate Care
Harbor Hospice has once again achieved the highest level in the We Honor Veterans (WHV) program, recognizing its leadership and commitment to specialized care for Veterans. As a Level 5 Partner, Harbor Hospice not only delivers tailored support to Veterans and their families but also mentors other organizations nationwide in veteran-centric care excellence.
Celebrating our Veteran Volunteers
Harbor Hospice is proud to announce that Larry Friday, a dedicated Veteran Volunteer and proud U.S. Air Force veteran has been awarded the 2025 Governor’s Service Award – one of Michigan’s highest honors for volunteerism and community service.
Larry has been an integral part of our Veteran program, spending countless hours visiting with fellow veterans in hospice care and ensuring they receive the recognition they deserve. Please join us in congratulating Larry Friday on this incredible achievement and thanking him for his unwavering dedication to our mission and to those who served.
