November is National Hospice & Palliative Care Month
Honoring compassion, comfort, and dignity for patients and families.
Each November, Hospice of the North Coast joins organizations nationwide to raise awareness about the importance of hospice and palliative care.
This month, we celebrate the dedicated professionals, volunteers, and families who ensure that every moment counts — helping patients live with peace, comfort, and support.
What Hospice Care Really Means
Hospice focuses on quality of life for people facing serious or life-limiting illnesses. It’s not about giving up. It’s about gaining the support needed to live fully, surrounded by comfort and dignity.
Our interdisciplinary team provides:
- Pain and symptom management
- Emotional and spiritual support
- Family counseling and grief services
- Assistance with practical and end-of-life planning
Palliative Care: Comfort at Any Stage
Palliative care provides relief from symptoms, pain, and emotional stress at any stage of illness. Unlike hospice, palliative care can be provided alongside curative treatment.
It focuses on:
- Comfort and symptom relief
- Supporting emotional and mental well-being
- Helping patients and families make informed decisions
Care That Changes Lives
Every patient’s story is unique, but they all share one thing in common: the power of compassionate care.
At Hospice of the North Coast, we’ve seen how hospice can bring peace, relief, and love to families when it matters most.
It’s not about adding days to life.
