On September 3, 1982, the Medicare hospice benefit was signed into law, helping make compassionate end-of-life care available to more patients and families across the country.
Today, on its 44th anniversary, we recognize the lasting impact of this milestone and the hospice professionals, volunteers and advocates who continue to ensure that every person can experience comfort, dignity and support at the end of life.
At Home Health & Hospice Care, we are proud to carry that mission forward each day.
