Dear [COMMUNITY HOSPICE/VA FACILITY]: I am writing you on behalf of the Hospice-Veteran Partnership (HVP) of [STATE/ REGION], a partnership of community and Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) professionals dedicated to improving end-of-life care for veterans. As part of our efforts, we are trying to learn more about how community hospices and VA facilities work together in our area. Enclosed you will find a questionnaire as well as additional information about our HVP. We are hoping you will participate in our survey and also share with us any formal or informal agreements you have with local [COMMUNITY HOSPICES/VA FACILITIES]. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at [PHONE NUMBER] or [E-MAIL]. Thank you for your time and for helping further our mission! Sincerely, [NAME] Chair Steering Committee Hospice-Veteran Partnership of [STATE/REGION] |
