World Hospice and Palliative Care Day 2024
2024-10-12
World Hospice and Palliative Care Day is an annual unified day of action to celebrate and support hospice and palliative care around the world. The year 2024 marks 10 years since the World Health Assembly (WHO’s Governing Body) passed the only stand-alone resolution on palliative care, calling for all countries to “strengthen palliative care as a component of comprehensive care throughout the life course.”
We believe that palliative care working alongside compassionate communities multiplies the ability to respond to the needs of the most vulnerable.

Adi explains that “I find his songs illuminate different aspects of love, in a fascinating way and range from light and bubbly romps to such powerfully emotional songs as “Love For Sale” and “In The Still Of The Night.” Additionally, a number of songs written by friends of Porter’s will highlighted in Adi’s performance.
A limited number of reserved tables for 4 and 6 are available for this performance as well as general admission rush seating. Beer & wine is also available for purchase.
