What if hospice care didn’t mean the end — but a new beginning?

Meet Pam Harter. Living with a rare genetic condition, Pam chose to stop aggressive treatments and begin hospice care — and found a new way to live with purpose.

Through hospice, she traded hospital visits for travelling around the world. Now, she’s chasing an extraordinary goal: becoming the first hospice patient to go to space. 🚀🧑🏻‍🚀

Pam’s story challenges common myths about hospice. It’s not about giving up — it’s about comfort, dignity and living fully with the time you have.

🎥 Watch her inspiring journey. 👇🏽

April is National Minority Health Month, a time to raise awareness about health equity and the importance of early screening.

"Many cancers don’t have noticeable symptoms in the early stages. By the time a person feels unwell, the cancer may have already progressed. That’s the point of screenings — early detection when chances of successful treatment are much higher."
- Dr. Gabriel Axelrud, radiation oncologist at Covenant Health’s Joe Arrington Cancer Research and Treatment Center in Lubbock, Texas.
