What is #GivingTuesday?
We have a day for giving thanks. We have two for getting deals. Now, we have #GivingTuesday, a global day dedicated to giving back!
On Tuesday, December 1, 2015, charities, families, businesses, community centers, and students around the world will come together for one common purpose: to celebrate generosity and to give.
We’re joining the #GivingTuesday movement to:
- raise awareness about the difficulties homebound individuals face in obtaining proactive healthcare
- spread the word about how in-home primary and palliative care benefits individuals, and lowers healthcare costs!
- connect with members of our community who believe what we believe- that everyone deserves proactive, individualized healthcare- even when they can no longer leave their home!
