March is National Social Work Month and this year's theme is "Uplift. Defend. Transform." We are lucky to have some of the very best!

Our social workers play an intricate role in supporting palliative care patients who are coping with chronic illnesses, hospice patients and their families in the final moments of life and grieving loved ones throughout the community. Between emotionally tough conversations and resource connection, social workers are there as a compassionate guide to "uplift, defend, and transform" patients, families, and our community.

Please visit NASW for more information about social workers' impact: https://www.socialworkers.org/News/Social-Work-Month/Social-Work-Month-2026

Hospice isn’t just for the final days—it’s about improving quality of life, sooner.

Many patients and families don’t realize that Frederick Health Hospice offers personalized care, expert pain and symptom management, and support that can be accessed months before the end of life. Often, families say, “We wish we’d called sooner.”

Calling hospice sooner can help you:
• Improve quality of life and manage symptoms
• Receive care at home and reduce hospital visits
• Stay in control of your health and care plan
• Have your wishes front and center
• Support your family with education, respite, and grief services

We don’t do this work for recognition—we do it because we believe in caring for people at the end of life. But it truly means a lot to feel this kind of love and appreciation in return!

Meet Hospice Volunteer Yvonne (“Von”) Hansche

Von discovered her calling as a Hospice Compassionate Presence Volunteer, providing quiet, caring support to patients at the end of life. She sits with patients in transition, sometimes reading or singing softly, ensuring no one is alone in their final moments. “As a shy introvert, it comes naturally to me,” Von says. “It’s a privilege and an honor.”
