We’re flexing our gratitude today to get 2021 started.  There’s no easier way to boost your self care wellness than practicing thankfulness.  We all know 2020 was challenging and at times, even heartbreaking.  In this New Year’s message, Helen and Jerry remember all the ways the past year helped us to grow.  Our Connection Moments campaign allowed us to encourage and support healthcare workers all over the country.  There have been opportunities to attend conferences virtually and find new virtual education resources.  Hospice and palliative care teams have learned to be creative in their use of telehealth during a time where social distancing kept us apart from our patients and their families.  Our resilience as a professional community grew from the challenges we face.  We think 2020 has equipped us to take on 2021 with courage, strength, and compassion.  If the new year finds you needing information about end of life care, you can find more support at theheartofhospice.com.  You’ll find more podcasts where we discuss advance care planning, hospice philosophy, and how an end of life care team works on The Heart of Hospice “Listen” page.  We never forget - your journey matters.  No matter who you are, or where you are in your hospice journey, you are The Heart of Hospice.
