Behind every hospice journey is a compassionate advocate helping families navigate some of life’s hardest moments.

During Social Work Month, we recognize the heart and dedication of our social workers who uplift families, defend dignity, and transform difficult seasons into moments of connection and support.

From coordinating resources and providing emotional guidance to advocating for patient wishes, their work ensures no family walks this path alone.

Thank you for living out this year’s theme: Social Workers: Uplift. Defend. Transform.

March is Social Work month and we are so grateful for ALL of our social workers from each of our three offices. Our social workers support our patients, families, and staff in so many ways! They facilitate family meetings, advocate for end-of-life wishes, provide education to families, help with Medicaid applications, caregiver suggestions, FMLA paperwork, funeral home/burial/body donation options, home safety, deliver patient supplies, and much more! 👏🏻👏🏻
