  OPERATION RESPECT  
  A program for Veterans and families  

Pennsylvania has one of the highest populations of Veterans in the United States with over 1.1 million having served, 25% who reside here in Western Pennsylvania. Family Hospice and Palliative Care’s Operation Respect is a comprehensive home care and hospice program designed to meet the unique needs of Veterans and their caregivers.
 
Hospice's attention to the individual's body, mind and spirit encourages exploration of concerns that distinguish the needs of the Veteran with life-limiting illness from other patient populations. Many factors impact the Veteran's end of life journey include age, whether enlisted or drafted, branch of service, rank and combat or POW experience. Consequences for the Veteran can range from limited social and financial resources to a reluctance to admit pain to the possibility of complications with medications.
