Hospice Diemen<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThere is always hope\u201d<\/span><\/h2>\n

In Diemen, you can do almost anything: live, work, grow, and start a family. But dying with dignity in your own community? That’s not possible.<\/strong> Those who are terminally ill are sent to surrounding communities<\/strong>. Away from loved ones. Away from familiar surroundings.<\/strong><\/p>\n

That hurts, and it doesn’t have to stay that way.<\/em><\/p>\n

Diemen is rapidly growing towards 40,000 inhabitants. The demand for care is increasing accordingly.<\/strong> General practitioners’ practices are filling up,<\/strong> informal carers are becoming overburdened and, due to national shortages in district care, good palliative care is becoming increasingly difficult. A hospice is not a luxury, but a pure necessity.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In surrounding municipalities, this has long been arranged. Not yet in Diemen.<\/em><\/p>\n

Onafhankelijk Diemen believes that every resident<\/strong> deserves the opportunity to say goodbye to their loved ones close to home in the final stages of life.<\/strong> A hospice in Diemen would be a huge improvement<\/strong>. But realizing this takes time, sometimes as long as five years.
\nThat is why we must take the first step now:<\/strong> a feasibility study. So that future initiators do not get bogged down in rules, barriers, and uncertainty.<\/p>\n

We can do this together.<\/strong> With you, with our volunteers, with care partners, care workers, and a new city council that chooses compassion, commitment, and vision.<\/p>\n

And above all, with our conviction: We always hold on to hope.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
