🌍 Today is World Hospice & Palliative Care Day
Each year, we come together to honor the people and programs that provide compassionate care when it matters most.
Hospice and palliative care aren’t just about managing symptoms, they’re about supporting the whole person: their comfort, dignity, and peace of mind. Around the world, millions facing serious illness still lack access to this essential care that helps them live—and die—with quality and meaning.
💜 The goals of this day are to:
• Expand access to hospice and palliative care worldwide
• Raise awareness of the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of those with life-limiting illness
• Support the caregivers, social workers, and healthcare professionals who make this care possible
Let’s use today to listen, learn, and advocate for care that treats every person with compassion and humanity—no matter where they live.
