Throughout the Lone Star State, dedicated health care professionals provide invaluable care to those suffering from illness or injuries. While many Texans receive this quality care in hospitals or other facilities, some need or prefer a more comfortable, intimate setting.  When this need arises, home care and hospice organizations are there to provide individualized and professional medical care and assistance to the elderly, disabled and chronically ill. These services are crucial for not only the valuable care they provide that helps their patients achieve a better quality of life but for the actual nature of that care, which offers the simple yet powerful comfort of a home setting.

During the month of November, we are highlighting home care and hospice as alternatives to hospitalization and other forms of institutional health care. It is a time to recognize the committed home care and hospice professionals who help their patients live every day to its fullest.

We encourage all Texans to learn more about home care and hospice options and to recognize the invaluable contributions of all Texas health care providers.  If you are a licensed home and community support services agency in Texas, then we encourage you to advance the ideas of home care and hospice throughout your community during this special month.  Click here to link to our Public Relations manual. It contains the following promotional materials which you may use:
