From the APEX Management Team
November was National Hospice and Palliative Care Month, a time to recognize the compassionate professionals who bring comfort, dignity, and whole-person care to patients and families across the country. This year’s theme, “We See the Whole You”, reflects the heart of our mission at APEX Hospice and Palliative Care — to honor each individual’s story, support their loved ones, and walk beside them with respect, empathy, and skill.
As we reflect on the recent Thanksgiving season and the gratitude it inspires, we are especially grateful for our field staff — the nurses, CNAs, social workers, chaplains, providers, and support teams who show up with compassion day after day. Your presence brings peace in difficult moments, comfort to families, and dignity to every person you serve. You embody what it means to care for the whole human experience.
We also extend heartfelt appreciation to our health partners and collaborating hospice and palliative agencies across the nation. Your trust and partnership help us surround patients and families with the highest level of care and support.
To our entire APEX team:
Thank you for the extraordinary care you provide, the lives you touch, and the humanity you bring to every encounter. As we honor this meaningful month and move forward into the holiday season, we celebrate you and the heart you bring to this work.
With gratitude,
Shelley Cartwright, CHPO | CEO
On behalf of the APEX Management Team
