“Last year we held our first-ever virtual Sweet Notes, and it was a safe and unique way to connect with our community,” said Nathan Adelson Hospice President and CEO Karen Rubel. “This year, the excitement continues with Sweet Notes 2.0, which promises the return of fine wines and artisanal sweets from local favorites while supporting two critical causes - our Pediatric Hospice Program and our Families in Need Program.”
End-of-life care is never easy for a family, and especially difficult when the patient is a child. The Pediatric Hospice Program responds to the individual needs of children with life-limiting conditions, as well as their families. The program includes the services of trained hospice medical professionals, in-home care, medications, support to caregivers, and bereavement counseling.
The Families in Need Program provides relief to patients and families who need help with everyday necessities, such as household supplies, or assistance with utility bills, while a family member is facing a life-limiting illness. Over the course of the pandemic, which created hardships for so many, the Families in Need program has provided over $100,000 in assistance.
