As a Level II partner of the We Honor Veterans program, both Medi Home Health & Hospice's offices in Richmond and Petersburg, Virginia seek to continually find ways to honor veterans in our community and partner with other healthcare organizations to educate staff on how to handle veteran specific issues as it relates to their end of life care.
Our healthcare system is facing an uphill battle in terms of caring for veterans. Yesterday CNN published an investigative report on hospital delays at times resulting in deaths for some war veterans. I encourage you to check out the article below and help spread the word on the difficulties facing our healthcare system and our country's military veterans.

If you or someone you know is an active duty military member or you are interested in helping out military veterans in our community, please contact Medi Home Health & Hospice in Petersburg, Virginia or Richmond, Virginia to find out how to get started. We hope to hear from you soon!
