Honoring and supporting America’s wounded service members, combat veterans, and military families
Patriots Cove is a Platinum-rated nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization in Northeastern Pennsylvania founded by military veteran Jeff Swire. Our mission is to empower veterans, first responders, and their caregivers to heal, reconnect, and adapt to life after service through meaningful outdoor and restorative experiences.
We provide fully accessible opportunities for fishing, hunting, and time in nature, including more than a mile of accessible trout stream, wheelchair-accessible hunting blinds, track chairs, a bite-trigger hunting system, and full ADA-compliant facilities. Every experience is designed to allow guests to participate safely, confidently, and independently.
Allied Services Hospice & Palliative Care and Patriots Cove have announced a new partnership aimed at providing additional support and services for veterans and first responders in northeastern Pennsylvania.
Under the agreement, Allied Services Hospice & Palliative Care will become the exclusive hospice and palliative care partner for Patriots Cove’s Veterans and First Responder Last Best Day Program and related services offered at the Wyoming County facility.
