Veteran-to-Veteran Program
When it comes to caring for Veterans, EveryStep understands the importance of acknowledging and remembering our patients' service to our country.
Through our Veteran-to-Veteran Program, we pair Veterans who are volunteers with patients who have been identified as Veterans. Veteran partners provide companionship while talking, reading, and sitting with patients. There are some issues Veterans only feel comfortable sharing with other Veterans. Veterans bring a unique skill set to help patients come to terms with past events, finding peace at end of life.
The Veteran-to-Veteran Program also includes Veteran Pinning ceremonies to provide honor and dignity to Veterans at the end of our patients' lives. The ceremonies include the Pledge of Allegiance, a prayer of thanks, the awarding of a Veteran service flag pin, the singing of “God Bless America,” a reading of What is a Veteran, and the presentation of a certificate of recognition.
EveryStep is recognized as a Level Four Partner through We Honor Veterans.
