Veteran Programs

As a part of this leadership role, one of the main responsibilities is for HPCAI to be the voice of hospice partners involved in WHV throughout the state with the Hospice-Veteran Partnership (HVP) of Iowa. The HVP holds quarterly state-wide networking calls following the national WHV networking calls. These calls provide hospices the opportunity to make introductions, discuss the national calls, outline goals for the group and brainstorm ideas for future involvement and engagement.

The goal for this partnership is to ultimately encourage hospices to join the WHV program and HVP, support hospices as they implement the program, determine barriers hospices struggle with and get hospices to work together as they serve Veterans. As the state leader of “We Honor Veterans”, HPCAI hopes to increase the program’s awareness among the hospice community and increase hospice participation, improving the quality of life for Iowa’s Veterans.

All hospice agencies in Iowa are welcome to join HVP of Iowa. Members who are interested in joining the program should contact  at HPCAI.

“We Honor Veterans” is a National Alliance for Care at Home member program that supports organizations in delivering compassionate, veteran-centered care across all service lines. The program helps providers recognize and respond to the unique experiences and needs of veterans and their families.

The updated program features three levels of participation, allowing organizations to engage based on their current stage of veteran-centered care delivery and continue advancing over time.

Through WHV, partners gain access to education, mentorship, peer learning, national recognition, and opportunities to connect with peers through the Caring for Veterans My Alliance Community.
