Heading home for the holidays? Start the conversation that matters. As you gather with loved ones, consider discussing what matters most to them when it comes to care planning. A simple first step: "Talk early and often." Opening the dialogue now ensures wishes are understood and honored in the future. Our 5-Point Holiday Care Planning Guide makes it easy to start the dialogue, offering practical steps like this one to navigate these meaningful discussions.

Our valued member, Hospice Care of the Lowcountry, has embraced an exciting new chapter with a rebrand to MiraSol Health. This transformation reflects their expanded focus on providing a full spectrum of services, including palliative care and grief support, while remaining a cornerstone for exceptional hospice care.     The rebrand reinforces MiraSol Health’s nonprofit mission and dedication to serving Southern South Carolina with the same compassion and excellence their community has trusted for years.     We’re proud to highlight MiraSol Health’s innovative approach to meeting the evolving needs of those they serve. 

  Our member, Nathan Adelson Hospice, recently unveiled the Choosing Hospice platform to help Nevadans and families everywhere navigate the journey of hospice care. We're excited to amplify this invaluable resource across our network, ensuring more families have access to the guidance they need during their health journey.     Early and ongoing grief support can make a significant difference in long-term mental health outcomes for caregivers and families. That’s why it’s so important to choose a hospice provider with a comprehensive bereavement and support program. Choosing Hospice stresses the importance of asking providers about their grief support services. Do they offer care both before and after a loved one’s passing? Do they provide a place for every grieving person to turn to for compassion and understanding? Hospices deeply connected to their communities recognize the value of supporting families through their grief.

Our member, Stillwater Hospice, is making a meaningful impact with its specialized grief support group for the LGBTQ+ community. This safe and affirming space provides a much-needed outlet for those navigating loss, especially for individuals facing unique challenges, such as family disapproval or societal stigma. “We’re a grief-avoidant society. We don’t want people to be grieving too much,” said Bonnie Blackburn-Penhollow, Stillwater’s director of communications. This group breaks through that isolation, offering understanding and connection in a space where there’s no such thing as grieving "too much." Meeting on the second Monday of every month, the group offers coping strategies, resilience-building, and the opportunity to honor loved ones in a supportive environment. What a great way to support the LGBTQ+ community! Read more: https://lnkd.in/e83WNMX4

The holiday season is a time for connection and reflection. It’s also the perfect opportunity to have meaningful conversations about end-of-life planning with your loved ones. These discussions may feel challenging, but they’re a powerful way to ensure everyone’s wishes are understood and honored when the time comes.   At NPHI, we’ve created a 5-Step Guide for Advance Care Planning to help people begin the process of putting together their plan. Taking the time to plan ahead is one of the most thoughtful and lasting gifts you can give your loved ones this holiday season.   Access the guide here: https://lnkd.in/eaYhuQ6M
