Our staff participated in a special workshop today, facilitated by our Hospice Chaplain and Grief Counselor, Jerry Hodges. Jerry reminded us of the importance of taking care of ourselves so that we can continue to care for others. Good advice for all during this holiday season!

National Alliance for Care at Home helps our organization stay informed and involved in important policy changes that impact your access to quality hospice and home health care in Southwest Kansas.

Last week, Senator Roger Marshall, M.D. (R-KS) and Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) sent a letter to Senate leadership expressing strong bipartisan support for policies that preserve the Medicare Hospice Benefit under Original Medicare, including for Medicare Advantage (MA) beneficiaries, which has protected their access to high-quality, timely end-of-life care for nearly three decades.
As Congress considers potential reforms to the MA program, the letter urges Senate leadership to maintain this critical safeguard and oppose any proposals that would include hospice in the Medicare Advantage program, including repeal or alteration of the Special Rule for Hospice (the Special Rule), also known as hospice carve-in. Despite years of attempts from Congress, the Alliance (and Hospice of the Prairie & Prairie Home Health!) strongly opposes efforts to integrate hospice into Medicare Advantage (MA).

Our Celebrate Life Tree Lighting was a special event for all that attended! Deacon Carson’s powerful message provided thoughtful encouragement as the holiday season is here, in the midst of our grief. The Bethel Mennonite Youth Choir sang beautiful hymns, bringing a special brightness to our evening!

Prior to the Tree Lighting, the Holidays & Grief Workshop provided education and support to attendees, along with the annual turkey giveaway.

Give us a call if you are struggling with the holidays and loss. We have grief support counselors available to help!

“Grief can make social decisions feel like emotional negotiations…
There’s no right choice. Only the one that protects your energy and honors your grief. You’re allowed to set boundaries. You’re allowed to change your mind.”

Join us on Tuesday, November 18 at 6 PM, our Holidays & Grief workshop will offer ideas to help navigate the holidays ahead. Message us for more information, RSVP not necessary.
