Our Coastal Hospice team members are truly extraordinary, and one of our favorite traditions is recognizing them each quarter at our All-Staff Meeting! 💙🌊

The Waves of Excellence Awards celebrate outstanding team members who go above and beyond to advocate for and serve our hospice patients and their families, whether they're providing compassionate care in the field or supporting our mission behind the scenes in the office.

Do you know a Coastal Hospice team member who has made a difference? We invite our staff, patients, families, volunteers, and community members to nominate an exceptional employee for this special recognition.

Submit your nomination today at www.coastalhospice.org/staff-recognition.
🗓️ Nominations close Monday, November 9, at the end of the day.
Help us recognize those who make waves of compassion every day! 🌊💙

November is National Hospice and Palliative Care Month!

National Hospice and Palliative Care Month (NHPCM) is celebrated each November to raise awareness of hospice and palliative care and honor the professionals, volunteers, and families who provide compassionate support to patients facing serious or life-limiting illnesses. Hospice care focuses on comfort and quality of life for patients nearing the end of life, while palliative care addresses symptom relief and emotional support for patients at any stage of a serious illness.

During this month, we continue educating the community about hospice and palliative care, supporting care providers, sharing stories, and encouraging conversations about end-of-life wishes. Join us in raising awareness, celebrating our care teams, and sharing the importance of compassionate care for every journey.

❓What is a Quarter Auction❓

A Quarter Auction is a combination of an auction and a raffle. Entry is $10 for a numbered paddle and you must bring quarters (or buy some from us) to bid on items you’d like to take a chance on winning.

The auctioneer will describe the item and tell you how many quarters to place in the pot (per paddle) for that item. You will then hold your paddle up. The auctioneer will pull/call a number. If it is your paddle, you shout out and the prize is yours. If your number is called and you didn’t bid, we ask you say “no bid” to keep the game going fast and the next number is picked.

Another option to play and not have to fool around with quarters is to buy an “all in” paddle that includes your entrance paddle and you will be included in each auction without needing to put in quarters. You simply raise your paddle for each auction!
But don’t worry, you’ll get the hang of it!

👟🏅Rain and wind couldn’t dampen the spirit of giving at Coastal Hospice’s 4th Annual Coastal Walk & 5K Run, held in October at beautiful Assateague State Park. Although blustery weather kept many registered participants at home, about 40 determined walkers and runners braved the elements to support a meaningful cause, raising more than $18,000 for Coastal Hospice patient care.
