Today is National Healthcare Decisions Day 💙

It’s a gentle reminder to think about something many of us put off—what matters most when it comes to your care.

An advance directive like Five Wishes is a simple, meaningful way to put those thoughts into words. Often called a “living will with a heart and soul,” it helps you express your personal, medical, emotional, and spiritual wishes.

Because your care should reflect you—your values, your voice, your dignity.

April is National Counseling Awareness Month 💙

Grief doesn’t follow a timeline—and no one should have to navigate it alone.

At Hospice of Acadiana, our Center for Loss & Transition offers counseling, support groups, and resources for anyone in our community who is grieving—not just those connected to hospice care.

Whether your loss is recent or years ago, support is here when you’re ready.
