Hospice provides compassionate physical, emotional and spiritual support designed around each patient's goals, helping them remain as comfortable as possible. Learn more about the specialized support available through our Hospice End-Stage Heart Failure Specialty Program: https://hubs.li/Q04B2lsF0

On World Hospice and Palliative Care Day, we're highlighting the important role hospice and palliative care play in helping patients and families navigate serious illness.

Both hospice and palliative care focus on comfort, quality of life and support, helping patients receive care that aligns with their goals and wishes. Palliative care can begin at diagnosis and alongside treatment. Hospice care is typically chosen when treatment is no longer working or a patient decides to stop curative treatment for a terminal illness, shifting the focus to comfort, quality of life and support for both the patient and their loved ones.

💜 Hospice Volunteers Make a Difference—Even Behind the Scenes! 💜
When people think of hospice volunteering, they often picture volunteers spending time with patients and families. While those roles are incredibly valuable, administrative volunteers are just as essential to our mission.
From answering phones and organizing paperwork, mailings, and special projects, administrative volunteers help ensure our hospice team can focus on providing Compassionate Care and support to patients and their loved ones.
Volunteering in an administrative role is not only helpful—it can be deeply rewarding. You'll gain valuable skills, connect with a caring team, and know that your efforts directly contribute to the comfort and dignity of those we serve.
Every task completed, no matter how small it may seem, helps make a meaningful impact.
Looking for a way to give back? Consider becoming a hospice administrative volunteer. Your time, talents, and dedication can make a world of difference.
