Dental Day for Hospice brings big smiles to patients and hospice. Dr. Tirpack and Dr. Perlmutter have been leading the way with Dental Day for Hospice for many years. We would like to thank the doctors and staff who contribute their time and services to help those who need hospice.

County Freeholder Proclaim November, National Hospice Month
The Sussex County Freeholders proclaimed November as National Hospice and Palliative Care Month at their meeting on November 21st. They encourage citizens to increase their understanding and awareness of care at the end of life.
Karen Ann Quinlan Hospice is recognizing National Hospice and Palliative Care Month with the launch of their #SoonerIsBetter campaign. The campaign is aimed at helping people in the community learn more about the benefits of enrolling in hospice care as soon as they receive a life-limiting diagnosis. The benefits of enrolling sooner include living longer. For more information about the campaign can be found at KarenAnnQuinlanHospice.org
