Today is World Hospice and Palliative Care Day. This year’s theme, “Pain Management: An Essential Part of Palliative Care,” highlights the importance of addressing physical pain as well as emotional, social and spiritual needs.

In the United States, 83.6% of hospitals with 50 or more beds offer specialty palliative care services, yet access remains limited in many for-profit and rural hospitals, with additional disparities related to race and income, according to the Center to Advance Palliative Care (CAPC).

At Granite VNA, we believe that everyone facing serious illness deserves compassionate care that brings comfort, preserves dignity and supports the best possible quality of life.

Granite VNA Trustee Jay Mullins of Carlson Investments has seen firsthand the compassion, dignity and independence our hospice team brings to people and families throughout the community. That personal connection made supporting the Legacy & Promise capital campaign an easy decision.

“When I was approached to help with the Capital Campaign for Hospice House, it was an easy decision,” Jay said. “Supporting our local community is important to us at Carlson, and I am proud to be a supporter of Granite VNA.”

We are grateful for Jay’s service and honored that Carlson Investments supports Hospice House and helps ensure this special place remains here for patients and families for generations to come.

Both George and Susan McGrath found a place of peace and compassionate care when each of their parents was a resident at Hospice House.

“It’s calm, it’s serene, the staff is incredibly attentive, always asking if there’s something they can do for you,” George said. “We knew our parents were going to get the best care.”

We are in the community-wide phase of our $2 million Legacy & Promise capital campaign for Hospice House. We’ve raised $1.7 million so far, and we’re now inviting community members to help us meet our goal to secure the future of this special place.

Over the past 30 years, Hospice House has become well-loved and well-worn. Capital Campaign funds will let us renew the space and grow the Hospice House Endowment to ensure long-term sustainability and meet future care needs.

During Mental Illness Awareness Week, Oct. 4–10, we join organizations nationwide in raising awareness, challenging stigma and encouraging people to recognize when support is needed.

More than 20% of U.S. adults lives with a mental health condition; with older adults, depression and anxiety can sometimes be mistaken for a normal part of aging. Granite VNA encourages families and caregivers to check in on elderly friends and loved ones, listen without judgment and take lasting changes in mood or behavior seriously.

If you or someone you know is having a mental health crisis, call or text 988 for the Su***de and Crisis Lifeline. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room if there is immediate danger.
