December 21, 2019 – Earlier this week Appalachian Hospice Care Staff Nurse Rolanda Addis and Community Development Coordinator Dalton Hatfield attended the Floyd County Fiscal Court meeting where Judge Executive Robbie Williams issued a proclamation recognizing November as National Hospice Month in Floyd County. Judge Williams allowed Rolanda and Dalton to speak to the court and those in attendance about the importance of hospice care in the Big Sandy region and the mission of AHC.

Every county government in the AHC service area has now issued proclamations this month to recognize National Hospice Month and the work of AHC. Community engagement is vital to the mission of AHC, and local governments play an integral role in educating and engaging communities of that mission.
