We would like to thank Mayor Brenda Capel of Ellerbe, Mayor Amy Guinn of Hamlet, and Mayor John Hutchinson of Rockingham, for recognizing November as National Care at Home month through proclamations issued at each of their City Council meetings this month.
Announced in 1978 by then President Jimmy Carter, the month of November was established as National Hospice and Palliative Care month to recognize the efforts of those who provide important care end-of-life care and raise awareness about hospice and palliative care.
The National Alliance for Care at Home also recognizes November as National Care at Home Month in an effort to recognize and “bring together the care at home movement, inspire outreach to communities, media, and policymakers, recognize the valuable contributions of provider staff and volunteers, and continue building awareness of care at home.”
In addition to thinking about and thanking team members of all of these home care services, November is a good month to learn more about hospice, palliative, and home care services, think about your end-of-life care wishes, and share with your family what those end-of-life goals and wishes are.
We would also like to take this time to thank our staff and volunteers for the care that they provide for our patients and their families daily during their end-of-life journey. We certainly would be nothing without each of you.
