This month is National Hospice & Palliative Care Month. Our staff provides extraordinary care to our patients. In our effort to recognize and appreciate our staff this month, we are giving every staff member a coupon for a free cupcake from Simply Baked as a small but heartfelt thank-you. This gift reinforces how we fell about our staff. “We see you. We value the difference you make every single day.” See pics of a few staff after receiving their coupon.

Honoring Our Veterans 🇺🇸

This Veterans Day, we paused to honor the courage, sacrifice, and service of all who have worn our nation’s uniform. Nearly 30% of the patients we serve are veterans, and it is our privilege to care for them with the respect and dignity they deserve.

Our team members are specially trained to understand the unique needs of veterans at the end of life. Through meaningful pinning ceremonies, compassionate care, and our annual luncheon recognizing veteran volunteers, we strive to ensure their service is never forgotten.

This week, we’re delivering goodie bags and heartfelt thanks to veterans across our organization — a small gesture of gratitude for their tremendous service to our country.
