The theme for National Hospice & Palliative Care Month this year is “We See the Whole You.”

Hospice and palliative care are about more than addressing medical needs. They recognize and honor the whole person. Each patient brings a unique story shaped by experiences, values, and hopes. “We See the Whole You” is a reminder that this care approach respects the person’s story, values, and needs.

We are so grateful for our compassionate, skilled Home Health & Hospice team and thank them for taking care of "the whole" patient every time.
