History
We at Hinds Hospice have always had a special respect for our Veterans that we serve at the end of their lives. Only in providing this care have we been made aware of the unique needs our Veterans and their families have. Fresno has been blessed with having a VA Hospital that advocates for patient care rights. The We Honor Veterans program has provided Hinds Hospice staff resources and understanding we have never had before. This special training has allowed Hinds to provide the very best in end-of-life care for our Veteran patients, including rural and homeless Veterans in Fresno, Madera, and Merced.
Veterans have a hospice care benefit.
Veterans may be eligible for hospice care as part of the basic eligibility package for veterans enrolled in the Veterans Health Administration. Hinds Hospice services are also covered by Medicare, MediCal, most HMO and private insurance plans.
