WesleyLife Honors Veterans

WesleyLife's commitment to veterans also extends to our hospice services. WesleyLife Hospice is a highest-level partner of We Honor Veterans, helping to provide the best end-of-life care to the veterans we serve and  facilitating expanded training for hospice volunteers. In addition, we recruit volunteers who are or were in the military to allow  special veteran-to-veteran connections to form.

Your monthly gift of $85 provides the medication costs for a veteran receiving hospice care.
