WASHINGTON – The National Partnership for Healthcare and Hospice Innovation, the voice for nonprofit advanced illness care, is proud to celebrate November as National Hospice and Palliative Care Month. This month is dedicated to raising awareness about the critical role of hospice and palliative care in enhancing the quality of life for individuals and families facing serious illnesses.
Throughout November, NPHI encourages the community to learn more about the benefits of hospice and palliative care, share stories of loved ones who have experienced these services, and participate in events designed to spread awareness. When families and caregivers share their positive experiences of hospice and palliative care, it can help others understand the importance of compassionate end-of-life care.
In honor of National Hospice and Palliative Care Month, NPHI also shines a spotlight on the true Care Heroes—the dedicated professionals and volunteers who provide compassionate care to those facing terminal or serious illnesses. Their dedication to ensuring comfort, dignity, and quality of life is the foundation of hospice and palliative care. These Care Heroes make a profound impact on the lives of patients and their families, offering essential support during some of life’s most challenging moments.
“We celebrate and recognize the invaluable contributions of these Care Heroes—the extraordinary individuals who are delivering exceptional quality care each and every day,” stated Tom Koutsoumpas, CEO. “We invite everyone to join us in sharing their positive experiences of working, volunteering, or caring for those at the end of life.”
“This November is a time to recognize the essential role of hospice and palliative care providers in our communities,” stated Carole Fisher, president. “We invite everyone to join us in spreading the word about the impact of these services and in celebrating the dedicated professionals who provide this critical care.”
To participate in National Hospice and Palliative Care Month, NPHI encourages everyone to join the conversation online using the hashtags #CareHeroes, #HAPCM, #HospiceCare, and #PalliativeCare. You can also explore our Public Outreach Toolkit for more guidance.
