November is National Care at Home Month! 💙

At By the Bay Health, Hope Hospice, and Mission Hospice, we recognize the profound difference compassionate care can make for patients and families facing serious illness and the end of life.

Hospice care is about more than medical support. It is about providing comfort, dignity, and peace of mind, helping patients spend meaningful time with loved ones in the place they call home, wherever that may be.

This month, we honor our dedicated hospice clinicians, aides, social workers, bereavement counselors, chaplains, and volunteers who bring compassion, expertise, and comfort to patients and families every day. Their commitment makes it possible for individuals to receive personalized, quality compassionate care when it matters most.

Thank you to everyone who makes this important work possible!

A heartfelt THANK YOU to dedicated Mission Hospice volunteer Rhyena Halpern! 💙

For many years, Rhyena has facilitated our monthly virtual Death Café discussions, creating a welcoming, supportive space for meaningful conversations about death, dying, and grief.

As Rhyena steps away from facilitating our Death Cafés, we extend our deepest gratitude for her compassion, dedication, and the lasting impact she has made on our community.

While Mission Hospice's Death Café sessions are coming to an end, the conversations can continue! Rhyena will still facilitate virtual Death Cafés twice a month through the Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Foundation.

Thank you, Rhyena, for the many years of care, connection, and thoughtful conversations!

Tomorrow is World Hospice and Palliative Care Day, celebrated around the world and right here in the South Bay.

Since 1979, Mission Hospice has helped San Mateo County families care for loved ones with comfort and dignity at home. The values that started this work are the same values we carry into our next chapter.

To our physicians, nurses, aides, social workers, chaplains, bereavement counselors, physical therapists, and volunteers: thank you.

Mission Hospice has a refreshed look, and the same heart.

Our new brand marks an exciting chapter. Mission Hospice is part of the largest independent nonprofit hospice network in Northern California, alongside By the Bay Health and Hope Hospice.

What hasn't changed is everything that matters most: our care team, our roots in the South Bay, and the relationships we've built with local families since 1979.
