November Is National
Hospice Month
If you were diagnosed with a
terminal illness, would you know
where to turn for help? Hospice
care makes it possible to get the
end of life services you and your
loved ones want and need. No
vember is National Hospice
Month - a time to learn about
choices in end-of-life care and the
hospice services in Albany and
the surrounding area.
Framed by the National Hos
pice Month 2001 Quilt, the theme
for this year is "Hospice Care"
Comfort and Compassion When
It's Needed Most."
No Outcry in the Streets
What of men who blow up a
building containing a daycare
center and a mother who drowns
her babies? The Bible talks about
ancient kings who engaged in
such evil. “Ahaz was twenty
years old when he became king,
and he reigned sixteen years in
Jerusalem; and he did not do what
was right in the sight of the Lord
his God, as his father David had
done. But he walked in the way
of the kings of Israel, and even
made his son pass through the
fire, according to the abomina
tions of the nations whom the
Lord had driven out from before
the sons of Israel” (2 Kings 16:2-
3).
Here is the mournful cry re
garding the country where such
things occur.
‘‘Alas, sinful nation, people
weighed down with iniquity, off
spring of evildoers, sons who act
corruptly! They have abandoned
the Lord, they have despised the
Holy One of Israel, they have
turned away from Him” (Isaiah
1:4).
Is there a correlation between
our lack of service to God and the
eruption of evil in our land? The
Bible suggests there is. The op
posite also seems to be true.
More than a million patients and
their families have utilized the
services of hospice. Some 60 per
cent of all hospice patients have
cancer, and many have other con
ditions such as heart disease or
AIDS. Regardless of a patient's
condition or age. however, hos
pice opens their door and their
heart to all terminally ill persons.
Albany Community Hospice
has served the region since 1983.
To patients and families coping
with life-limiting illnesses. Al
bany Community Hospice offers
an opportunity to live fully in the
Psalm 144:14 prays, ‘‘Let there be
no outcry in our streets!” The
Psalm then exclaims. ‘‘How
blessed are the people who are so
situated; how blessed are the
people whose God is the Lord!”
(Psalm 144:15).

"Hospice is a compassionate
way of caring for the terminally
ill - those approaching the end of
life's journey," said Joyce Ann
Williams, a professional liaison
for Albany Community Hospice.
"When patients, their families and
physicians agree that a cure is no
longer probable and that comfort
is the goal, hospice is there."

not just a home health program.
