Looking for Veterans to visit out former service men and women on hospice. Our Vietnam and WWII veterans have stories to tell and many prefer to share with their brothers and sisters in the service.
Companionship and help with VA issues like ordering DD214 etc...
"Veterans need Veterans; it's an unspoken bond they share. You don't have to have a purple heart, be a POW, or even a combat veteran. You signed up, you trained, you were ready to offer yourself if the mission called for it. These are your brothers and sisters, wearers of the uniform, bearers of the flag. We honor those who paved the way, while they respect the ones who took their place."

Mission Statement
Cima Hospice enables people to live fully and comfortably, while coping with a terminal illness through a holistic, interdisciplinary team approach, that also supports the family and develops an informed caring community.
Description
Cima Hospice was founded in 2006 by two Texas entrepreneurs. Since then, it has grown to 10 agencies providing compassionate end-of-life care serving Texas in San Antonio, New Braunfels/Seguin/San Marcos, McAllen/Rio Grande Valley, El Paso, Tyler/Longview, Texarkana, Houston, and Corpus Christi and serving Oklahoma in Sallisaw, Poteau, Muskogee, Tulsa, and Pryor.
In October of 2011, Jordan Health Services and Cima Hospice came together to provide a continuum of quality home care by combining their home health services, community/provider services and hospice services. This coming together created 40 locations serving close to 15,000 patient/clients daily throughout the state of Texas and Arkansas.
In October of 2013, Jordan and Cima joined forces with Healthcare Innovations Private Services, the largest provider of Medicaid home health services in the state of Oklahoma including three additional hospice locations in Sallisaw, Poteau and Muskogee. Jordan acquired PrimeCare Home Health, a leading home health services provider based in Louisiana with locations in Hammond, Baton Rouge, Monroe, Ruston, and Columbia, in December of 2014.
Together companies each day will fulfill the personal care, case management, skilled nursing, pediatric, and hospice needs of approximately 26,000 patients in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana.
