November Is National Hospice Month, and GSB Proudly Supports Hospice of the Fisher Home

When someone you love is seriously ill, the journey can feel like a maze of appointments, decisions, and uncertainty. But hospice care reminds us that even in the hardest moments, there’s room for dignity and connection.

This November, during National Hospice & Palliative Care Month, Hospice of the Fisher Home is embracing the national theme: “We See the Whole You.” It’s a powerful reminder that care isn’t just about symptoms. It’s about stories, relationships, fears, and hopes. It’s honoring the full humanity of every patient.

What “We See the Whole You” Really Means

Hospice isn’t about giving up. It’s about showing up. It’s about listening, supporting caregivers, and helping patients make decisions that reflect what matters most to them.

Too often, hospice is misunderstood as “doing nothing.” In reality, it’s a specialized model of care focused on quality of life, autonomy, and holistic support. It’s person-first, always.

A Matching Gift That Doubles Your Impact

This year, Greenfield Savings Bank is proud to match donations to Hospice of the Fisher Home throughout November, up to $5000. That means your gift goes twice as far to support:

• Patient care services
• Bereavement and spiritual counseling
• Home visits and staffing
• Support for families and caregivers

 

This initiative is championed by Misty Lyons, Assistant Vice President & Mortgage Officer at GSB and a dedicated board member at Hospice of the Fisher Home.

"Fisher isn’t really a hospital. It’s a home. People are cared for and loved by staff and volunteers who truly value what they do. It’s a place where dignity matters,” Misty said. “I’m proud that Greenfield Savings Bank is supporting the November Match initiative.”

Misty’s Story

Misty went through hospice with her grandparents in California, and it left a mark. “The care, the compassion. It reminded me that end-of-life care isn’t just medical, it’s deeply human, and deeply personal,” Misty mused. “That’s what drew me to Fisher Home Hospice.”

How You Can Help

Want to make a difference this November? Here’s how:

• Donate: Every dollar up to $5,000 will be matched by GSB.
• Share: Spread the word on social media to raise awareness.
• Advocate: Help dispel myths about hospice and educate others on its value.

Together, we can ensure that families in our community receive the care they deserve—care that sees the whole person, not just the illness.

 "There’s nothing more important than helping people die with dignity after a life well lived. They deserve to be surrounded by love, and treated with honor,” Misty commented.
