Covenant Hospice Recognizes Wakulla Area Veterans

In the spirit of gratitude and heartfelt recognition of their service and sacrifice, Covenant Hospice recognized veterans at the Eden Springs Nursing & Rehabilitation Center in a ceremony at the facility last week.  Each veteran was presented with a Hospice and Veteran’s Partnership pin and framed personalized certificate expressing gratitude for their years of service to our country.  Sheriff Harvey presented the veterans with their certificates and Captain Ganey, with the Wakulla County Sheriff’s Office, pinned each veteran.  The Wakulla County High School ROTC Color Guard presented the flag during the ceremony.

Covenant Hospice currently serves over 1,200 patients daily and is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to providing comprehensive, compassionate care to patients and loved ones facing life-limiting illnesses.
