In Touch November 2016 | Page 2

Letter from our President November is an exciting time at Pathways as we prepare for the holiday season, unroll new projects and most of all celebrate what is designated as National Hospice and Palliative Care Month. At Pathways, we live every day dedicated to providing expert and compassionate support for our community. In honor of National Hospice and Palliative Care Month, I’d like to take this opportunity to remind our community of the vast range of hospice and palliative services Pathways has available so that when our services might be needed, you know what is available. Despite many distinct differences between hospice and palliative care, there are still several misconceptions about the two care services. Hospice care is recommended when a patient has a progressive life-limiting illness and is given a prognosis of six months or less. Palliative care is a pain and symptom management care option for patients who have a serious illness but is not necessarily terminal. Both care methods include a range of physical, emotional, mental and spiritual support as well as respite for caregivers. Our team of nurses, home health aides, physicians, social workers, chaplains, therapists and volunteers collaborate to provide the best hospice and palliative care possible. Please visit pathways-care.org for more information on the options we provide our patients so that you may educate yourself and your community on the care that is available.
