How often do you see people arriving at a medical appointment with smiles on their faces? That is exactly how clients show up to the foot clinic.

No two days are ever the same for a hospice social worker. Their work often involves visiting patients and families in their homes, care facilities, or at the Community Hospice House. During these visits, they focus on meeting patients where they are emotionally and physically. Read More
For many people living with heart disease, the biggest fear isn’t just the diagnosis, it’s the worry of suddenly ending up back in the hospital. Often, those hospital visits begin with small changes that are easy to miss: a little extra swelling, feeling more tired than usual, a few pounds gained in a couple of days, or shortness of breath that seems to quietly sneak in.
During Heart Month, we’re reminded that caring for the heart isn’t only about major medical events. It’s about the everyday ones.
Maternal health matters — before, during, and long after pregnancy.
Healthy mothers are the foundation of healthy families and strong communities. Yet for many women, pregnancy and the postpartum period can be physically demanding, emotionally overwhelming, and filled with unexpected challenges. From shifting hormones and changing bodies to sleep deprivation, anxiety, and recovery, motherhood brings profound transitions. No mother should ever have to navigate these changes alone.
Comprehensive maternal care is not only about supporting a healthy pregnancy, it’s about safeguarding a mother’s well-being at every stage. When mothers receive timely, compassionate care, outcomes improve not just for them, but for their babies, families, and entire communities.
Honoring veterans means more than recognizing their service—it means understanding the experiences they carry long after their time in uniform ends. Through HHHC’s We Honor Veterans program, one family detailed firsthand how compassion, understanding, and connection can bring comfort at the end of life—not only for a veteran, but for the family who loves them.
For many families, the idea of calling hospice can feel heavy. There’s often a fear that reaching out means “giving up” or that it’s something reserved only for the very last days of life. In reality, hospice is about shifting the focus—from cure to comfort, from treatment to quality of life.
Advanced care planning is an essential part of managing your healthcare. It allows you to communicate your values, preferences, and goals for medical care—especially in the event you’re unable to speak for yourself.
