It’s National Hospice and Palliative Care Week!

National Hospice and Palliative Week (November 2 – 8) is part of National Care at Home month, which focuses on the main types of care available to you, wherever you call home.

Do you know what the main differences between hospice and palliative care are? Our newest blog, 5 Key Differences Between Hospice and Palliative Care, explains how both types of care support patients facing life limiting illnesses or conditions—and when hospice may be the right next step.

October 19–25 is National Massage Therapy Week!

Massage therapy brings comfort, relaxation, and relief from pain—helping patients find peace and ease through the healing power of touch. This week, we’re celebrating our amazing Massage Therapy team, whose skilled and compassionate care helps soothe both body and spirit for patients on their end-of-life journey.

At Hospice of the Northwest, we believe in the importance of integrative services that nurture the whole person. These therapies are made possible thanks to generous donors who support access to massage therapy through gifts to the Hospice of the Northwest Foundation.

Because Medicare does not cover massage therapy, donor support ensures that every patient can experience this meaningful care. You can help provide comfort by making a tax-deductible gift in honor of National Massage Therapy Week at www.HospiceNW.org/Foundation

This week is National Spiritual Care Week - October 20–26, 2025

Spiritual care is a vital part of the compassionate, whole-person support we provide to our patients and their loved ones. This week, we honor our Spiritual Care team, who offer comfort, presence, and guidance to patients and families as they navigate life’s final chapter. They ensure that each person’s beliefs, values, and spiritual practices are respected and supported in meaningful ways.

At Hospice of the Northwest, we know that tending to the spirit is just as important as caring for the body and mind. Our team is here to walk with you and your loved ones, helping create space for peace, reflection, and connection.

The journey to hospice care often begins with a single phone call. At Hospice of the Northwest, that first connection happens through our Referral Center — a place where questions are answered, support begins, and compassion guides every step.

We’re honored to introduce Pam Putney, who stepped into the role of Referral Center Manager this past June. Pam has been part of our team since 2015, bringing years of experience, heartfelt dedication, and a deep commitment to helping patients and families feel cared for from the very beginning. 💜

Pam and her team are here 7 days a week to offer guidance, review records, and coordinate care — making sure every person who reaches out feels supported and heard.
