Hospice of Dubuque Celebrates Hospice & Palliative Care Month

Throughout November, Hospice of Dubuque celebrates Hospice & Palliative Care Month, a time to raise awareness about the benefits of Hospice of Dubuque’s services. During this time, Hospice of Dubuque extends appreciation to the dedicated professionals and selfless volunteers who journey with patients and families in their time of need.

Hospice of Dubuque has been privileged to serve as the tri-state’s local, nonprofit hospice for over 41 years. To celebrate Hospice & Palliative Care Month, Hospice of Dubuque is partnering with Egelhof, Siegert & Casper Funeral Home to host a Holiday Help presentation. This is a supportive program providing information, encouragement, and hope as bereaved individuals anticipate the upcoming holiday season.

This presentation is available to anyone needing support after the death of a loved one. Hospice of Dubuque will also offer a children’s bereavement workshop on Tuesday, November 19, from 5:30 to 7:30 PM. Families are invited to the Hospice of Dubuque Theisen Education Center, at 1670 JFK Road, to participate in supportive grief conversations and ornament making.
