About Heart of Texas Nurse Honor Guard
Our Mission
The Heart of Texas Nurse Honor Guard's mission is to honor all nurses at the end of life for their selfless dedication and compassion to their patients. We will provide a service with dignity and respect, and officially release the nurse of their nursing duties at their last roll call.
Our Vision
Integrity, compassion, and respect are at the core of everything we do at The Heart of Texas Nurse Honor Guard. We believe the nurse provides care with every ounce of their being and wish to honor the nurse as well as provide the same care and attention we would give to our own loved ones; who also traveled on this nursing journey with us.
