Thank you: Hospice and palliative care providers

November is National Hospice and Palliative Care Month. Hospice and palliative care offer those they serve the high-quality of care delivered by a team of skilled professionals and trained volunteers that includes physicians, nurses, social workers, therapists, counselors, health aides, spiritual care providers and more. As funeral care providers, we greatly appreciate everything that hospice does for the families they serve. We are fortunate to have them in our community providing wonderful, loving care to patients and families.
