A reflection on his legacy and the importance of compassionate care
BLUFFTON, SC, DECEMBER 30, 2024 – MiraSol Health joins the nation in mourning the loss of former President Jimmy Carter yesterday. We extend our heartfelt condolences to the Carter family and to all who were inspired by his life of service, leadership, and compassion.
President Carter's decision to receive hospice care for 19 months reinforces the profound value of hospice as a service focused not on the end of life, but on the transition and comfort it can provide to individuals in their final months or even years. He understood that hospice care is about living, helping individuals and their families to navigate this journey with dignity and peace.
James Dismond, CEO of MiraSol Health
President Carter’s legacy as a humanitarian and leader is a reminder of the holistic approach hospice provides, honoring the human experience and prioritizing quality of life. His time in hospice care in Plains, Georgia, serves as a powerful example of how hospice care can extend well beyond the final days, offering support, comfort, and compassion in a preferred setting.
James Dismond is available to speak further about the role of hospice care, dispelling myths that it is solely about the end of life, and highlighting how it can offer a sense of peace and continuity to patients and families.
