It's Spring Break raffle time for our EAF!

What is the EAF, you may ask? The Ed Childress Memorial Employee Assistance Fund was created in 2007 to directly support the associates of HMR Veterans Services during times of unexpected hardship.

We hope you will join in on the fun in support of our Employee Assistance Fund!

Last month we had an amazing time celebrating Mardi Gras with our residents!

We want to say a huge thank you to our wonderful Dietary Department for preparing delicious festive food that everyone truly enjoyed.

Our staff brought the spirit of New Orleans right to the halls as we paraded through the building, tossing out Moon Pies and passing out Mardi Gras beads to all of our veterans. The smiles, laughter, and excitement made it a celebration to remember.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this event so special for our residents. We love creating moments of joy and community together.

Every March, we mark Women's History Month by recognizing the contributions made and the glass ceilings broken each day by women in the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Space Force, and Coast Guard.

Female members of the U.S. military have not always received the recognition they’ve earned. Yet from sea, to ground, to sky and beyond, women have worn the battle flag of the United States of America and have bravely served in her name. We honor them.

We would like to say thank you to the AME Southeast Conference Young People’s Division for your generous donation of snacks and essential items for our veterans.

Your kindness and thoughtfulness truly made a difference in the lives of those who have served our country!

We are honored to share photos from the Inaugural Veterans Gala, hosted by the Pea River Historical and Genealogy Group and held at the Enterprise Civic Center on Valentine’s Day.

What a beautiful evening filled with appreciation, fellowship, and heartfelt moments. Our veterans were surrounded by dedicated staff, loving family members, and generous sponsors who came together to celebrate their service and sacrifice.

The hard work that goes into having zero loss time injuries is a testament to how hard our staff works everyday to ensure not only the safety of their coworkers, but our Veterans as well.

Congratulations, Destiny!
