On World Day of the Sick, we’re reminded that compassion isn’t passive, it’s shown through presence, advocacy, and walking alongside those who are suffering- Just as the Good Samaritan did for the suffering man he met while traveling.

For Karen, this meant trusting her instincts when she noticed changes in her father, a decision that opened the doors to compassionate care and advocacy both for Karen and her father through SSM Health At Home – Hospice.

At SSM Health, we recognize that compassionate care means being present, listening closely, and supporting families every step of the way. Hospice care isn’t about giving up- it’s about giving more to patients and families.

Karen shares her experience with SSM Health At Home Hospice in Southern Illinois in the video below.
