Today was Hospice Day at the Missouri Capitol in Jefferson City & our Volunteer Bridget attended on Alternative Hospice’s behalf. The event was held to advocate for the care our patients & families depend on everyday through our hospice & palliative services. We are grateful to positively impact our patients & their loved ones through compassionate & quality care addressing the physical, emotional, psychosocial & spiritual needs at end of life.

Thanks Bridget for your voice at the Capitol today & everyday! 💚🤍

March is National Social Worker Month. This month we will be honoring our Social Workers + sharing insight into their roles on our hospice + palliative team.

A hospice social worker is a member of the hospice interdisciplinary team (IDT). They support the emotional, psychological and social wellness of end-of-care patients. Functioning as advocates, social workers address concerns and wishes of people on our service. Using their specialized knowledge, social workers determine resources and services their patients need for additional support and guidance.

In conjunction with providing personal care to their patients, hospice social workers also work closely with a patient's entire family system. They help patients and families to understand the intricate details of the medical system so they can make important healthcare decisions for the best care possible for themselves and their loved ones. Hospice social workers also provide grief and pre-bereavement counseling to families as they navigate end of life progression with their loved ones.

We are proud of the compassionate aid our social workers provide to our communities. Please feel free to share a memory or interaction you had with someone in social services with us as we celebrate all social workers this month. 💚

As we step into a new year, we carry with us the stories, love, and moments that have shaped our hearts.

In hospice care, we are reminded daily that life isn’t measured by days on a calendar, but by connection, compassion, and presence. Each shared smile, gentle touch, and quiet moment matters.

This new year, may we continue to honor every journey with dignity, surround each other with kindness, and find hope even in tender moments. Thank you to our patients, families, caregivers, and community for trusting us with what matters most.

Here’s to a year guided by empathy, gratitude, and love-one moment at a time ❤️
