As Spiritual Care Week comes to a close, we want to celebrate our incredible Spiritual Counseling team and the compassion they bring to our patients and staff every day. While this week is dedicated to honoring them, our Spiritual Counselors hosted a space to care for and uplift our team this week instead.

Our Spiritual Counseling Lead, Daniel Booker, invites you to participate in an "Honoring of the Hands" — a restorative activity the Spiritual Counseling team shared with our staff throughout the week.

To all of our Spiritual Counselors: We are so thankful for each and every one of you!

It’s National Healthcare Quality Week, and we want to take a moment to thank our incredible Quality and Compliance team! 👏💙

Our Quality and Compliance team plays an important role in continually elevating the care we provide. Their dedication to safety, quality, and high standards drives our organization’s commitment to excellence, including our successful CHAP reaccreditation earlier this year!
As an independent nonprofit accrediting body, CHAP’s Standards of Excellence exceed basic Medicare requirements, honoring hospice providers that meet the highest national standards for quality care.

Thank you to our Quality and Compliance team—and all of our staff—for the vital role you play in ensuring compassion, dignity, and excellence for our patients and families every day.

Rather than requiring patients to travel, Hospice of the Northwest brings expert medical, emotional, social and spiritual care to them, wherever they call home — including the San Juan Islands and outlying areas of Skagit, Island and Snohomish counties.

For Joseph “Jes” Straka, a South Whidbey resident, receiving care at home was life-changing. "Ever since getting on hospice, it's been a different world," Jes said. "Now, the care comes to us."

Today is Child Hospice Day, a time to recognize children like Kam, who are living with a life-limiting illness and their families who love and care for them. 🩵

Hospice of the Northwest is one of the few organizations in our region that provide pediatric hospice services, and we are deeply committed to walking alongside our young patients and their families when pediatric hospice becomes part of their story.

Our team takes the time to understand each child’s unique needs and goals—providing specialized hospice care grounded in compassion, dignity, and respect for the tender nature of their journey.
