Did someone say Taco Tuesday!? Our Employee Engagement Committee hosted Taco Tuesday for all staff in celebration of Physical Therapy Month and Spiritual/Pastoral Care Week. With some help from our friends at QDOBA in Merrimack and the fine chopping skills of our committee, we had all the fixin's for a delicious taco bar! #TacoTuesday #WeAreHHHC

October is National Physical Therapy Month, a time to raise awareness about the many benefits of physical therapy and celebrate the the vital roles physical therapists play in falls awareness, prevention and recovering from falls-related injuries. Hear from one of our own Physical Therapists, Lisa Gagne-Hansford. #PhysicalTherapyMonth #WeAreHHHC

Even the nursing students got in on the action as our registered therapy pet teams visited hospice patients at The Huntington at Nashua today! Students and staff as well as patients and visitors enjoyed interacting with miniature horses Bucky (pictured) and Nutmeg. As you can see, the horses wear Velcro sneakers indoors so that they don’t slip on any hard floor surfaces. These amazing beings bring smiles and comfort wherever they go. #pettherapy #volunteer #WeAreHHHC

The Amherst Garden Club members toured the Community Hospice House gardens today. We were honored to show our 1st year progress and the difference that our new drip irrigation system has made for plant health. The Garden Club’s financial support helped make it happen!

As we celebrate former President Jimmy Carter’s 100th birthday, we extend our gratitude for his courageous decision to openly share his choice of hospice care. His transparency sparked important conversations nationwide, helping more people access the compassionate care they need and deserve. Check out this CBS News segment highlighting the evolution of hospice care in response to America’s growing elderly population.

❄With colder weather comes the dreaded flu season....and our annual flu clinic for employees and volunteers! Getting a flu shot is an easy and important way for us to protect ourselves, our team, and most importantly, the patients we care for every day. And our staff are smiling through it all, just like our amazing PT, Candace! Let’s keep each other healthy this season! 💪🏼 #EmployeeWellness #FluFighters #HealthcareHeroes
