Blue Cross Blue Shield Association’s Post

Many people think #hospice is for the final days of someone’s life which, of course, it is. However, it is available six months or sometimes even longer before a person passes away. They provide support, supplies, guidance, counsel, and more for the patient and #caregivers. Their service is invaluable and the comment we hear most often is “I wish we knew what they did sooner.” #caregiving #caregiversupport #dementia #caregivingjourney #longtermcare #eldercare #disabilitycare #healthcare #endoflifecare #endoflifeplanning #endoflife

If you want something in the world to improve, start doing better; even if you must invent it, set the standard. Once it's set, dedicate the rest of your life and work with others to build it up and keep improving it. "What you sow into the lives of others is the harvest you will reap tomorrow." Anonymous. Carrie Hyde, MD, thanks for sharing the original post. The true meaning of life is to plant trees under whose shade you do not expect to sit. ~ Nelson Henderson. Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree long ago. ~ Warren Buffett. The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second-best time is now. ~Chinese Proverb. Even if I knew the world would go to pieces tomorrow, I would still plant my apple tree. ~Martin Luther. The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson. On the last day of the world, I would want to plant a tree. ~W.S. Merwin "While in office, the Carter administration tested hospice care as a model, which led to the Medicare Hospice Benefit we know today. President Carter receives the same hospice care available to all Americans under the Medicare Hospice Benefit". ~ The Hospices Action Network. You reap what you sow. What you work for is what you will get. Do not expect to get success if you do not do what needs to be done. You reap what you sow: Life is like a boomerang. Our thoughts, deeds, and words return to us sooner or later with astounding accuracy. ~Grant M. Bright. You reap what you sow, not something else but that. An act of love makes the soul more loving. A deed of humbleness deepens humbleness. The thing reaped is the very thing sown, multiplied a hundredfold. You have sown a seed of life; you reap life everlasting. ~ Frederick William Robertson Whatever you do today is directly proportional to what will happen tomorrow. So, sow what you reap. ~ Anonymous The person who sows generously will also reap generously. ~Anonymous #leadershipexcellence #integrity #compassion #kindness #healthcareadvancement #medicaid #medicare #medicareadvantage The moral of this post: Plant the trees. If you plant well, you will reap generously.

Craig Stewart, FD, one of our trusted advisors in this industry, sometimes jokes with clients when speaking about the importance of preplanning. Many times families are driven apart by the burden of planning or paying for a funeral for their loved one. This is one of the reasons preplanning is so very important. By insuring yourself, you are easing the burden for your loved ones. A final gift of love. #premierpreneed #premierpreneedmarketing #preplan #preplanning #preneedinsurance #deathcareindustry #wearepremier #wearepreneed

Building a Legacy of Positivity and Growth The Children of Fallen Heroes mission is about more than just our organization or any one individual—it’s about something much bigger. It’s about taking care of the foundations of what truly matters: family and children. When we invest in these pillars, we create a ripple effect of strength, resilience, and hope that extends far beyond us. Our work is rooted in the belief that by fostering a positive community movement, we encourage growth and the power of positivity. We have the opportunity to build up our families and our communities in ways that inspire and uplift, ensuring that future generations not only thrive but carry forward these values of compassion and care. At the heart of everything we do is the commitment to honoring the legacies of those who have sacrificed for us. But beyond that, it’s also about laying the groundwork for those who come next, creating an environment where every child has the opportunity to grow, learn, and be supported by a community that believes in them. Together, we can cultivate a future where our children feel empowered, our families feel supported, and our communities grow stronger through shared purpose and unity. This movement is about building lasting connections, creating positive change, and ensuring that no one is left behind. Let’s keep moving forward—together, for the children, for the families, for the future.
