HospiceCare in the Berkshires is proud to have earned We Honor Veterans Partner Level Two

We Honor Veterans is a program of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO). In collaboration with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), the program 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.

HospiceCare in The Berkshires has been recognized as a “Hospice Honors” recipient, one of only five in Massachusetts. The designation is based on survey results from April through September, 2015. The “Deyta Family Evaluation of Hospice Care” (FEHC) survey evaluates a hospice’s performance on 24 satisfaction indicator measures. To earn the “Honors” designation, HospiceCare in The Berkshires had to be above the national average in at least 20 of the evaluated questions.
