Father's Day and #MyHospice

It’s less than one week until Father’s Day, June 17. While the connection between Father’s Day and hospice might not seem the most obvious, this can be a time to help raise awareness. Father’s Day is all about honoring those individuals who have fulfilled a paternal role in our lives – whether it be our dad, grandfather, or other special person. Father’s Day provides a wonderful opportunity for the hospice and palliative care community to share and promote stories about the compassionate, coordinated care that we provide to dads, or those who are like a dad, and families who need our support at the end-of-life.

Raising awareness of the importance of hospice care and the value of the Medicare hospice benefit is what the new My Hospice Campaign is all about. Taking the opportunity Father’s Day affords to recognize the day with a story from our community reminds people that #MyHospice is about the compassion and dignity we bring to all those we serve.

NHPCO and HAN have created several #MyHospice assets, including social media and special messaging, for you to use to honor someone on Father’s Day.

Get involved: please visit our Father's Day webpage to learn more.

 

Additionally, don’t forget to share with My Hospice your stories about dad or others who fill a paternal role! 

 

Happy Father’s Day to all those who care so much!
