VOYCE

Today, VOYCE offices are closed in recognition of Juneteenth, a day commemorating the end of slavery in the United States.

As advocates for older adults, we know that dignity, respect, and the ability to live with independence are rights that must be protected for everyone. Juneteenth reminds us of the importance of continuing the work toward a more equitable future.

We honor this day by reflecting on our shared history and recommitting ourselves to advocacy that ensures every person’s voice is heard and valued.

💛 The powerful role of presence and connection at the end of life
🌿 Why the harp has become such a meaningful tool in hospice care
🕊️ How this unique approach is changing the way we think about dying and comfort
