Grief doesn't need solutions. It needs compassion, understanding, and gentle support from those around us.

Sometimes being there means cooking a meal, writing a heartfelt note, or sitting quietly together.

Sometimes it just means being present and holding space.

🧡 Red Willow Hospice at the Texas & New Mexico Hospice & Palliative Care Conference!

This week, members of our Red Willow Hospice team—physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, social workers, and spiritual care coordinators—attended the Texas & New Mexico Hospice & Palliative Care Conference.

We believe in investing in our staff so we can continue offering care that’s grounded in the most current, evidence-based, and heart-centered practices. Staying connected with regional hospice leaders helps us grow, learn, and bring back knowledge that directly supports the families we serve in New Mexico.

We’re proud of this team and grateful for every opportunity to strengthen the work we do together.

Honoring Partnership & Stewardship 🌎

Red Willow Hospice is proud to partner with Friends of the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument , a 501(c)(3) organization whose work preserves, protects, and uplifts one of the most stunning landscapes in New Mexico.

We’re deeply grateful for their ongoing efforts to care for public lands, waters, and wildlife — work that strengthens not only our local community, but also our state and nation.

At Red Willow Hospice, we believe that caring for the earth is an essential part of caring for one another. Together, we’re committed to environmental and land stewardship that honors the beauty and balance of the place we call home.
