      Thursday, November 11, 2010, marks an historic day for all American Veterans, but this day also gave Optimal Hospice Care a chance to thank over 40 patients and caregivers who have served their country in different branches of the military. “This year each patient who is a Veteran will receive a beautiful Certificate of Appreciation signed by their hospice care team, along with a patriotic, hand-painted door hanger created by the Youth Volunteer Group,” shares Jana Maragoni, Administrator. “It is just a small gift, but it is heartfelt. We want them to know that we appreciate what they have done for our country and that we will always remember the sacrifices they made.” The staff and Volunteers at Optimal Hospice Care would like to extend their appreciation to all Veterans and military personnel, past and present. To contact Optimal Hospice Care, please call 1-888-597-6115.
