Veterans deserve end-of-life care and support that addresses their unique and unspoken needs. Their families also need help figuring out what comes next. Together with representatives from the New York State Department of Veterans’ Services, MJHS is hosting an insightful session to share best practices and real-life examples of how veterans have received help.
