A resolution designating November 2025 as "National Hospice and Palliative Care Month".
Summary
S.Res. 546 is a non-binding resolution that would designate November 2025 as National Hospice and Palliative Care Month. This resolution aims to honor and raise awareness of hospice and palliative care services, which focus on providing comfort and quality of life for patients with serious illnesses and their families.
As a non-binding resolution, this measure does not have the force of law and does not require presidential signature. Instead, it serves as a symbolic gesture from Congress to recognize the importance of hospice and palliative care in the healthcare system. If passed, it would encourage public awareness and appreciation for the healthcare professionals and organizations that provide these specialized end-of-life care services.
The resolution was introduced in December 2025 and remains in the early stages of the legislative process. Most introduced bills do not advance further, so passage is uncertain at this time.
