National Hospice and Palliative Care Month

Each November, hospice and palliative care programs reach out to raise awareness about the importance of high-quality hospice and palliative care. Hospice and palliative care programs provide pain management, symptom control, psychosocial support and spiritual care to patients and their families. These programs combine the highest level of quality medical care with emotional and spiritual support that families need most when facing a serious illness or dealing with end of life issues.

In recognition of National Hospice and Palliative Care Month November 1-30, 2023, America’s Charities is celebrating the following members who are raising awareness for high-quality hospice and palliative care.

One of the most cost-efficient ways you can support these nonprofits is to donate to them via payroll deduction through your employer’s workplace giving program (Don’t have a program? Click here to have your employer contact our team.)
