“In recognition and appreciation of your partnership with Community Care Hospice and for your many donations to our American Pride® program, we present you with this certificate,” Howard said.
 
Paul Butler, a veteran volunteer with Community Care Hospice, pinned the trustees with a Hospice Veteran Partnership pin, which is white and shaped like the state of Ohio with crossed flags representing hospice and the honored veteran. He also presented the trustees with an American Pride® Veteran Care by Ohio’s Hospice challenge coin.

Through American Pride®, Community Care Hospice honors the service of Veteran patients and assures them of receiving the highest quality of care. In addition to celebrating and thanking Veterans for their service, American Pride® assists patients in obtaining access to all the benefits to which Veterans are eligible, provides spiritual support and addresses individual post-traumatic stress issues.
