Help us build a rich community of resources, caring and support for a good life with a serious illness and a good death when life is at an end.

There’s lots going on in our community and we want to share it with you. You are invited to make WhatcomCares your home for finding the latest news, information, stories and inspiration for life with serious illness.  Look here for a growing community that includes resources, services, articles and new friends.

We’ll point you toward resources, articles and stories about caregiving, living with serious illness and making the end of life a comfortable time filled with meaning and connections.

You are invited to ask questions and share ideas about how, as a community, we can care for each other through all phases of life and through all the roles we play – patient, caregiver, healer, parent, child, friend.  Or tell us about services you offer and the Whatcom County businesses and professionals that have been useful to you – caregivers, wig sellers, masseuses and masseurs, social workers and geriatricians.

We also welcome stories about your own experiences.

Your needs will guide us in creating this site. Leave your comments and suggestions. We’ll read every suggestion and welcome every idea, even if we can’t respond to them.
