🌿 November is National Hospice and Palliative Care Month. If you or a loved one are facing a serious illness, you may have heard the terms palliative care and hospice. But what’s the difference?

This month, we’re helping raise awareness about the compassionate support each can provide—so you can make informed choices and find comfort, care, and dignity every step of the way.

Both provide support during illness but are used at different times.

Meet Janet!

For Janet, donating blood runs in the family. Her husband, Jerome, gave blood, plasma, and platelets for decades, but after being diagnosed with myeloma, he could no longer donate, so Janet continues in his honor.

Each month, she donates platelets at the UNC Blood Donation Center, inspired by the patients her gifts help and the care her husband receives.

Thank you, Janet, for turning compassion into action and giving others the gift of life. ❤️
