Veterans” Program Awards HOAC Four-Star Level
JACKSON,
Calif.—November 2, 2017—Hospice of Amador & Calaveras has earned the
National Hospice & Palliative Care Organization’s highest level of
achievement, Four Star Level, in NHPCO’s We
Honor Veterans program. Each level requires evidence of support and
services to an agencies’ population in the form of a comprehensive report
detailing its work. Level 4’s overarching criteria is to “Increase access and
improve quality of care for Veterans in your community.” Since joining the
program five years ago, HOAC has served 402 veteran patients and their
families.
NHPCO

continuing commitment and dedication to ensuring Veterans have access to
quality end-of-life care, appreciated by all of us at NHPCO and the hospice
community at large.”
Renee
Davis, coordinator of the WHV program at HOAC said, “We are deeply grateful to
American Legion Ambulance, American Legion Post #108, Auxiliary & Riders for their ongoing partnership, generosity, and
assistance to us, and to our dedicated vet-to-vet volunteers in achieving this
level of recognition from NHPCO, for our community’s veterans.”
