Hospice of Citrus County partners with a network of professionals, volunteers and other organizations to provide quality end of life services for all veterans and their families.  “Partners in care” include the Veteran’s Hospitals in Gainesville and St. Petersburg and the Veteran’s Clinic in Citrus County .  

Pending death can be more difficult for veterans who have experienced active combat or with a history of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Trained nurses, social workers and chaplains offer specialized services to both the patient and family members.  They improve the veterans’ access to hospice and palliative care services at any location and at various levels of care and educate the veteran about end-of-life issues.
