Hospice Happenings
NURSES MONTH
During National Nurses Week,
Hospice of Southern Illinois would like
to extend a special thanks
to our nurses as they
continue to provide the
highest level of quality care
to our patients. They deserve
special recognition for their
vast contributions and the
positive impact they make
every day!
Beginning in 1993, the American Nurses
Association
declared May 6-12 as the
national week to celebrate
and elevate the
nursing profession.
HOSPICE IS DIGNITY
We define dignity because it's the one noun that relates to quality of life at the end of life, a core value of hospice care at Hospice of Southern Illinois. How do people with a life-limiting illness find quality of life at the end of life? Finding it is different for each person. As an individual's life-limiting illness progresses, Hospice of Southern Illinois can be called in to support the patient and their family. Read Mr. Ward's story of dignity on our blog.
