This Month...
April was designated as Celebrate Diversity month in 2004 in order to educate and demonstrate the value of understanding the racial and cultural differences of our citizens.
This is an acknowledgement of the differences in race, gender, ethnicity, nationality, disabilities, religion, and socio-economic status. The highlighting of these differences serves to kick off conversations that promote the necessary acceptance of all kinds of people, and to generate a vision of celebration and empathy.
See below for a list of notable days from this month...
4/2 - World Autism Day - Focusing on the acceptance and understanding of those with Autism
4/4 - Easter - Major Christian Holiday
4/8 - Buddha's Birth - A day of celebration and reflection for Buddhists
4/12 - Ramadan - First day of Islam's most sacred month
4/22 - Earth Day - A reflection for environmental advocacy and the celebration of our planet
4/23-24 - Gathering of Nations - Native American tribes come together to celebrate traditions and cultures

"Hospice is
not a Place"
Hospice and Palliative Care combine pain control, symptom management, and emotional and spiritual support. Both care methods can offer relief from the symptoms of a serious illness, but have slight differences that most people are not aware of. It is important to understand what those differences are so you can determine which care plan is right for you.
There isn’t a single specific point in an illness when a person should ask about hospice and palliative care; it very much depends on the individual. Hospice care is usually provided in the person’s home. It also can be made available at a special hospice residence. Hospice is a combination of services designed to address not only the physical needs of patients, but also the psychosocial needs of patients and their loved
ones.
