We are looking for Veterans who are willing to visit our patients who are veterans. We try to present each veteran with a certificate and do a pinning ceremony. We serve families throughout Bergen, Passaic, Essex, Union and Hudson counties. It can be done once a month, or more frequently if you would like. It can be done on the weekends if needed.
