We Honor Veterans, originally designed for hospice providers, is pleased to extend its partner opportunities to other community-based health care organizations providing direct care for seriously ill Veterans and their families.
WHV Founding Community Partners (Dignity Memorial) and Community Partners may include funeral homes, hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, home health agencies and other providers that understand the importance of serving Veterans based on their preferences for care and services.
The WHV Founding and Community Partner program has four levels of distinction based on organizations’ involvement and activities. The goal of accomplishing these levels is to provide the best quality of care to those who have served our country.

- Promote hospice and palliative care for Veterans
- Demonstrate the impact of organizational programs
