Recognizing National Hospice and Palliative Care Month

November is National Hospice and Palliative Care Month—a time to honor the compassionate care that helps patients and families navigate serious illness with dignity and support. At Catholic Health Services, we are proud to provide exceptional hospice and palliative care through Catholic Hospice, ensuring every patient experiences comfort and peace during life’s most vulnerable moments.

The Importance of Hospice and Palliative Care
Hospice care focuses on enhancing quality of life by managing symptoms and providing emotional, spiritual, and practical support. Palliative care complements this by addressing the needs of patients at any stage of serious illness. Together, these services offer families reassurance and guidance, allowing them to focus on creating meaningful moments.
