This week is Hospice Awareness Week – a time to recognise the incredible care, compassion and support hospice provides to people and their whānau across Aotearoa.

Here in Rotorua, Rotorua Community Hospice plays a deeply important role in our community. Their care is about so much more than end-of-life support. It is connection, comfort, dignity and aroha, wrapping around people and families when they need it most.

Hospice care is free for patients and their whānau, but it is not free to provide. This essential service relies on the support of our community to continue helping people receive the care they need.

We’re sharing this video from Hospice NZ – Living Every Moment to help raise awareness of the powerful ripple effect hospice care has on families, friends, volunteers, staff and the wider community.

If you would like to support hospice there are may ways you can get involved: https://rotoruahospice.co.nz/get-involved/

To the team at Rotorua Community Hospice, and to everyone who supports their work – thank you for the care, kindness and love you bring to our community. 💛
