We are honored to announce the formation of the Nurse Honor Guard of Susquehanna County.

This letter is to make you aware of the Nurse Honor Guard of Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania. Our chapter is a volunteer non-profit organization that offers a free formal tribute service to bereaved families of deceased Nurses.

Our services are modeled after military honors but features nursing and is a final tribute to honor nurses who dedicated their lives to caring for others. This ceremony serves as a powerful gesture of gratitude and respect, offering comfort to grieving families and recognition of the nurses lifetime of service.
