If you are a hospice organization, you can use this opportunity to raise awareness of hospice and palliative care within your community. The National Hospice and Palliative Care Association has media talking points on the website that agencies can use to spread the word about hospice on radio, newspaper, and television. Some agencies host special fund raiser events in the month of November to raise awareness. Many agencies also use the month to celebrate employees, volunteers, and caregivers that provide loving care to patients.
As an individual, you can celebrate the month by making a donation to your local hospice or the Hospice Foundation of America (HFA). The HFA is dedicated to promoting hospice and palliative care and supporting agencies across America. To make a donation to HFA, visit their website at http://www.hospicefoundation.org.
