This week we honor Calvary’s exceptional Nurse Practitioners (NPs), whose depth of care and expertise is both valued and essential for patients and families. In our hospitals, ArchCare nursing homes, and in hundreds of homes throughout our community every day, they manage complex conditions and provide holistic, patient-centered that aligns with each person’s values and their family's emotional needs. Thank you to all our NPs for championing and providing the seamless, high-quality hospice, palliative and end-of-life care experience for which Calvary is known! We are deeply grateful for everything you do.

On this Veterans Day, we express our sincere gratitude to the individuals in our Calvary community who have served our nation. We are privileged to care for the veterans who are currently entrusted to Calvary. Your strength, resilience, and unique experiences are an inspiration, and it is our honor to serve you. To our staff who currently serve in the reserves or have served in the armed forces, your dedication to the safety and well-being of America is reflected in the unwavering commitment you show Calvary patients and families every day. We also recognize the families among our staff—the parents, spouses, and children who have loved ones in the armed services. We acknowledge the unique challenges and sacrifice inherent in that life, and we do not overlook your sacrifices. Thank you for your service, steadfastness, and the humanity, integrity, and compassion you show every day. At Calvary, where every life is cherished and every moment is sacred, we are reminded of the ultimate sacrifice made by so many. We hold in our thoughts those lives lost and given in the service of others. It is in serving others with compassion and dignity that we fulfill Calvary’s mission. We are grateful that your spirit of service is a core part of our shared purpose and community.

On this World Hospice and Palliative Care Day, The Palliative Care Institute at Calvary Hospital is pleased to welcome Professor Megumi Umeda, PhD OCNS, Dr. Umeda, from the Graduate School of Health Science at Showa University in Tokyo, has led numerous studies concerning palliative care education in Japan. She’s here to learn about Calvary’s palliative care and hospice operations, practice, and nurse education. Pictured here with Susan Lage, LCSW, CHPCA, Senior Vice President, Hospice Administrator (left), Dr. Umeda will apply what she learns at Calvary to her country’s unique health system and aging society. Japan, which has the world's fastest-aging population, will have to provide palliative care to an estimated 1.4 million people by 2040. In the United States, one in five Americans will be 65 or older by 2040, drastically increasing the need for palliative care here as well.
