ExcelaCare Home Health and Hospice of Pampa and Mayor Mike Borger gathered together at City Hall for an official proclamation declaring November as National Home Care and Hospice Month in an effort to provide insight as to the importance of the services provided and the level of tender love and care that each worker strives to give their patients.
The proclamation reads as follows:
‘Whereas, home care services provide high quality and compassionate care services to more than 5 million Americans annually, especially in times of community or personal health care crisis; and
Whereas, home care is the preferred method of health care delivery among the disabled, elderly, and chronically ill individuals eager to live independently in their own homes as long as they possibly can; and
Whereas, home care services allow families to stay together and provide for greater health, dignity, and comfort in our communities; and
Whereas, home care in the U.S. is a growing alternative to hospitalization or other institute-based forms of health care for acute and chronic illnesses, providing care to millions; and
Whereas, two million everyday heroes-including home care and hospice nurses, therapists, and aides-will travel almost billions of miles in 2026 to deliver care and work tirelessly to provide professional support to millions of Americans in need of quality health care; and
Whereas, these dedicated home care professionals and volunteers form a support network that continues to play a vital role in health care delivery for our nation’s disabled, infirm, and aging population;
Now Therefore, be it resolved that I, Mike Borger, Mayor by virtue of the authority vested in me by the City of Pampa, Texas do hereby proclaim November 2026 as National Home Care & Hospice Month, and encourage the support and participation of all citizens in learning more about the home care and hospice concepts of care for elderly, disabled, and infirm.’
Mayor Mike expressed his gratitude to all the ExcelaCare hospice and healthcare workers present.
“I just want to tell you all that when it gets to the point where the future’s not too bright and our days are coming to an end, this is such a comfort to know that there’s folks like you who really care, who can ease pain, and bring dignity in those situations. I just really thank you for that. I’m so glad that everything worked out and you’re now ExcelaCare. It’s a wonderful thing for Pampa and our community. Thank you all again for everything you do.”
Mayor Mike then prayed over the workers for God to protect them in their service just as they continue to protect, love and care for their patients.
