The Floridant/10221497

NAPLES, Fla. - Floridant -- Avow has renewed its Level 5 Partner status with We Honor Veterans, a program of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO) that demonstrates a high level of commitment to veteran-centric care in the community. Avow is among just 3.8% of hospices participating in the program to achieve Level 5, the highest designation.

"Avow's mission is to create peace of mind for those in our care," said Jaysen Roa, president and CEO of Avow companies. "We respond to the unique needs of each veteran and family and are honored to serve those who have served us."

Reaching Level 5 takes a year to complete and must be renewed annually. As a partner, Avow provides specialized care to veterans who are facing a chronic or serious illness. This includes a veteran-to-veteran volunteer program, training on conflict-specific medical and mental health concerns, and knowledge to assist veterans in navigating VA benefits. Eight veterans work for Avow, with its director of staff education, Tina Gosling, the highest ranking. She spent 26 years in the Army and retired as a Lieutenant Colonel.
