November is National Home Care & Hospice Month November was proclaimed "National Home Care and Hospice Month" by Columbia Mayor Pam Hoots at a signing ceremony on Wedneasday, November 19, 2025 in City Hall. Mayor Hoots was joined at the signing by Keisha Robertson, Malisha Hatcher, Tish West, and Mary Beth Phelps. The proclamation encourages "citizens to increase their understanding and awareness of home, hospice, and palliative care, discuss their healthcare wishes with their families, and observe this month with appropriate activities and programs." The full Proclamation reads: Whereas, for more than half a century, care at home has supported millions of patients nationwide, allowing them to recover from acute illness or injury, navigate activities in their daily lives, or spend their final months at home, surrounded by loved ones. Whereas, home care offers a person-centered approach to treatment, including expert medical care, quality symptom control, and comprehensive pain management as a foundation of care. Whereas, beyond providing physical treatment, home care improves the quality of life for patients by allowing them to remain where they'd most like to reside and, in the case of hospice, attends to patients' emotional, spiritual, and family needs. Whereas, in addition to helping patients, home care provides support, respite, and in some cases, counseling services, to patients' families and loved ones; Whereas, in an increasingly fragmented and difficult-to-navigate medical system, home care is one of the areas of healthcare that demonstrates how care can - and should - work at its best for its patients, offering a full continuum of services; Whereas, millions of Americans recovering from acute illness or injury or living with serious or life-limiting illnesses and their loved ones receive care from home care, hospice, and palliative care providers in communities throughout the United States each year; Whereas, home care organizations are advocates and educators about advance care planning that helps individuals make decisions about the care they want and empowers them to be the architects of their care plan; Whereas, the central philosophy of home care puts patients first, ensuring a coordinated and person-centered approach to care, protecting patient choice and access to individualized services based on a patient's unique care needs and wishes. Whereas, care at home is a valuable resource that should be available for all Americans and their loved ones. Now, Therefore, be it resolved that I, Pamela Hoots; Mayor by virtue of the authority vested in me by Columbia, Adair County, Kentucky do hereby proclaim November 2025 as National Care at Home Month and encourage citizens to increase their understanding and awareness of home, hospice, and palliative care, discuss their healthcare wishes with their families, and observe this month with appropriate activities and programs. In Witness Whereof have hereunto set my hand this 19th day of November 2025 and caused this seal to be affixed. - Mayor Pam hoots This story was posted on 2025-11-24 08:59:17
