Hospice programs breathe life into the process of death.

Not only do they provide helpful support to those suffering from a terminal illness, but they also provide a helpful hand and uplifting spirit to those watching their loved ones fade away

As National Hospice Month celebrates its 31st year, the San Marcos community can be proud of those who offer hope and assistance to others in need.

The individuals who do the day-to-day work in hospice programs are very special.

Not everyone has the emotional strength to take on a challenging and sensitive task like this. But we have many of these fine folks right here in this community.

We tip our hat to their dedication and love of people, and hope they will continue to do the fine work they do for fellow residents seeking to end life with a peaceful and dignified death. RHR
