SRES 546 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A resolution designating November 2025 as "National Hospice and Palliative Care Month".

SRES 546 is a ceremonial Senate resolution designating November 2025 as "National Hospice and Palliative Care Month." It does not create new laws or policies but formally encourages the public to learn about hospice (end-of-life care focused on comfort) and palliative care (support for serious illness alongside treatment). The resolution urges Americans to recognize caregivers and volunteers, understand the benefits of early palliative care integration, and observe the month with awareness activities. This designation directly affects the general public and healthcare communities by promoting recognition of these services, not by altering legal requirements or funding.
