We’re proud to share that Heartland Akron has earned Bronze Level recognition from We Honor Veterans (WHV).

This milestone reflects our commitment to serving veterans with the understanding and respect they deserve.

Through WHV education and training, our clinical team is better equipped to recognize the unique experiences of veterans, understand their end-of-life needs, and help connect them and their families with the veteran benefits and resources available to them.

We’re honored to serve those who have served.

Every Heartland Hospice Akron volunteer receives resources like this conversation prompt guide to help spark meaningful visits.

We encourage our volunteers to become storyholders—people who ask thoughtful questions, listen with genuine curiosity, and create space for patients to share the stories of their lives.

Sometimes all it takes is one good question to unlock memories of first jobs, military service, raising children, lifelong friendships, or the person they fell in love with.

Those conversations don't just pass the time. They affirm a life, preserve dignity, and remind someone that their story still matters.

That's the quiet, extraordinary gift of hospice volunteering. (Learn more. Call 330.576.2930.)

"I’ve learned I’m a people person who loves meeting others where they are," she shares. We are deeply grateful for the comfort, dignity, and kindness Mel provides every day.Thank you, Melveana!

Even hospice professionals need time to recharge.

When she's not serving patients and families, Jen enjoys spending time with her husband, her children...and Buddy, the family's lovable Bichon Frisé. 🐾

The same warmth and kindness Jen brings home each day is what she shares with the families she serves throughout our community.
