This Senate resolution designates November 2025 as "National Hospice and Palliative Care Month" to raise awareness about end-of-life and serious illness care services. The resolution affects all Americans by encouraging them to learn more about hospice and palliative care options, recognize the dedication of healthcare workers and volunteers in this field, and understand the benefits of integrating palliative care into treatment plans for serious illnesses. The legislation highlights that over 1.7 million individuals received hospice care from more than 6,535 providers across the country in 2023, with services delivered by interdisciplinary teams including doctors, nurses, social workers, and spiritual care providers. Since this is a symbolic resolution rather than substantive legislation, it involves no funding or implementation requirements, serving instead as a formal recognition to promote public awareness of these critical healthcare services.
