Starting Oct 1: hospices must give the election statement addendum to ALL Medicare patients at election- not just on request. Small paperwork change, real operational lift for admissions teams. Worth getting ahead of it now. #Hospice #CMS #whatmattersmost

Hope can be sustained while holding both realistic and unrealistic illness expectations. Communication about serious news should focus on clarifying the expectations as well as supporting people’s hope. #hpm #hapc https://t.co/h8ypG9C2AT

Last week, I joined @POTUS & @VP in announcing the 1st 10 drugs selected for #Medicare drug price negotiation. For the 1st time Medicare can negotiate directly with drug companies & improve access to treatments for millions. #InflationReductionAct https://t.co/VyeT7uI4Pl

It’s never too early or too late. Advocate for, and engage in #AdvanceCarePlanning today.

[AHHC of NC @AHHCNC]

Planning ahead is a good idea; this also applies to ⚕️ medical care. What if your patients can't make their own decisions🤔? #AdvanceCarePlanning is essential. The National Institute on Aging has tools to get started: https://t.co/0SpREQNgEW @NCHomeCareTim

"As a hospice volunteer, I expected tears and anger. What I didn’t expect was the laughter and joy," Keri Wiginton shared. "I find immense value and grounding in offering companion care to someone who’s nearing the end of life. I look forward to it every week."

Thank you to all the hospice and palliative care leaders who joined us in Times Square today to celebrate Former President Jimmy Carter's life and legacy.

[The Alliance @TheAllianceHome]

On February 18, after a series of hospital stays, Former President Jimmy Carter made the courageous choice to elect hospice care for his end-of-life journey in the comfort of his home. This week marks a huge milestone for the Carter family as he has now been on hospice for six months.

[Secretary Xavier Becerra @SecBecerra]

July is Minority Mental Health Awareness Month.

I've seen firsthand how the stigma that still exists in many communities can make it hard to ask for help.

You don’t have to struggle with your mental health alone. There is hope and there is help. #988Lifeline
