On National End of Life Doula Day, we honor the compassionate individuals who provide comfort, guidance, and support during life’s most meaningful moments.

End-of-life-doulas offer a gentle presence to individuals and families as they navigate the end-of-life journey. They provide emotional support, companionship, and help ensure that each person’s wishes and dignity are honored.

At Community Nurse, we are especially grateful to have four dedicated hospice volunteers who are certified end-of-life doulas. Their kindness, compassion, and willingness to walk alongside patients and families during such an important time is a true gift.

We are so fortunate to have these remarkable volunteers as part of our Community Nurse family. Thank you for the comfort, peace, and caring presence you bring to those we serve.

April 17 is National Clean Out Your Medicine Cabinet Day!

Take a few minutes to check your medicine cabinet for expired, unused, or no longer needed medications. Safely disposing of old medications can help prevent medication errors, accidental poisoning, and misuse, while keeping children and pets safe.

Be sure to bring unused medications to a local pharmacy or medication take-back location for safe disposal. Check with your local pharmacy first to make sure they accept unused medications and with your town or city for take-back dates and locations.

A clean medicine cabinet is a simple step toward a safer, healthier home.

Your Care, Your Choice. Choose Community Nurse.
