Hello all!

For the past 35 years, board members, staff and partners of the Maine Hospice Council and Center for End-of-Life Care have worked tirelessly to increase access to quality end-of-life and palliative care through innovation, creative programming, education, advocacy and collaboration

Over the years, the small staff has done incredible work, creating program templates that have been adopted by other states and countries. In addition, they have made many personal and professional sacrifices to ensure the work of the Council continues. Board members are proud of the staff and grateful for their dedication, but appreciation alone will not keep the doors open. However, your donation might!

Many of the Maine Hospice Council’s services are free to the people of Maine. Our independent advocacy, innovative program development, education and collaboration must continue in order to ensure that people in Maine know of and have access to resources and support.

Thank you in advance for considering a gift to the Maine Hospice Council. Your support is more vital than ever during this difficult time!

Today, March 4, is a day that we celebrate the servicemen and servicewomen in our lives with National G.I. Day. Soldiers in the U.S. military — including members of the Army, Air Forces, and Marines — have been referred to as G.I.s since 1940, and today is the day that we celebrate everything they do for us with a big hug, either literal or metaphorical.
