National Hospice & Palliative Care Month

Each year, hospices and palliative care providers across the nation, celebrate caregivers and their patients and help raise awareness about end-of-life care.  

This Year's Theme

 This year’s theme, Preserving a legacy...Treasuring memories, emphasizes that everyperson a hospice and palliative care volunteer cares for is a unique individual with a lifetime of experiences, relationships and gifts to share.  Hospice and palliative care bring comfort, dignity and peace to help people live every moment of life to the fullest, leaving loved ones with memories they can treasure.

 Outreach Guide

NHPCO and Caring Connections have developed an Outreach Guide to assist providers with their outreach efforts. The guide is a collection of ideas, suggestions and materials. Hospices, palliative care providers, end-of-life coalitions and state organizations constantly engage with the communities they serve. November is National Hospice/Palliative Care Month, a perfect time to energize your engagement efforts. However, there are opportunities all year long to raise awareness and educate others. The intent of this comprehensive Outreach Guide is to support and enhance the mission and goals of your organization or coalition.
