National Hospice and Palliative Care Month

National Hospice and Palliative Care Month (NHPCM) is celebrated every November. It is a time to raise awareness about hospice and palliative care, and to celebrate the people who provide this important care to patients and their families.

Both hospice and palliative care can be provided in a variety of settings, including hospitals, nursing homes, and patients' homes. Hospice and palliative care teams typically include nurses, doctors, social workers, chaplains, and volunteers.

NHPCM is a good opportunity to learn more about hospice and palliative care, and to talk to your loved ones about your wishes for end-of-life care. It is also a good time to support hospice and palliative care providers, who work tirelessly to help patients and their families during a difficult time.
