A big thank you to Betty Anne for the thoughtful surprise today! 🍪

She delivered Smile Cookies to the team, and they absolutely made our day brighter (and sweeter). We appreciate the kindness and effort. It did not go unnoticed. Thanks again, Betty Anne!

Recently, a patient shared with us her love of operatic music, something that started when she was just a young girl, when she tuned into Milton Cross broadcasts of the Metropolitan Opera every Saturday afternoon on the radio.

When our team heard how much this music meant to her, we reached out to our community and something really special came together.

A heartfelt thank you to Alison Dawn Voice & Music for coming in and sharing such a beautiful gift. Alison’s voice filled hospice, gently drawing people out of their rooms and into the moment.

For one patient, it meant hearing the music she loved, performed live and close, at such an important time in her life.

It’s hard to put into words what that felt like… but it’s something we won’t soon forget.

She’s a proud grandmother who has always supported her granddaughter’s love of dance.

When her granddaughter visited recently, she brought along a medal she had just won at dance competition and shared it with an even prouder grandma. That small, meaningful moment sparked an idea.

With the help of our team and some quick coordination, a few dancers came to Bobby’s to bring the recital to her. They arrived in full costume, hair and makeup, and performed a private show right in her room, for the most special audience.

This is hospice care. Honoring the moments that matter most, creating connection, and bringing joy in the most meaningful ways.

Thank you to Urban Dance Company for making this happen so quickly, and to the patient and her family for sharing this moment with us.

Today, our CEO Brad Adams rolled up his sleeves and prepared a delicious brunch to celebrate Administrative Professionals Day at Bobby’s Hospice.

While today is a special opportunity to recognize our administrative professionals, it was also a chance to acknowledge the many individuals whose work behind the scenes helps keep Bobby’s Hospice running smoothly every day. Each person plays a vital role in supporting our organization’s mission.

It truly takes a dedicated and collaborative team to create the warm, welcoming environment Bobby’s Hospice is known for.

Thank you to Brad for such a thoughtful (and delicious!) gesture of appreciation, and thank you to everyone on the team for the effort and commitment you bring each day.

Happy Administrative Professionals Day! 💙

Happy Volunteer Appreciation Week (April 19–25)! 💙

This week, we are celebrating the incredible volunteers of Hospice Greater Saint John!
Our volunteers are the heart of what we do. Whether you are supporting patients and families at Bobby’s Hospice, welcoming customers at the Hospice Shoppe, helping at events and fundraisers, or sharing your time and expertise behind the scenes, you are making a meaningful difference!
You show up with compassion, kindness, and a willingness to give your time so others feel supported, cared for, and not alone. That kind of presence cannot be taught, it comes from the heart, and we are so grateful for each and every one of you.
Because of you, we are able to provide care, comfort, and connection to those who need it most.
Thank you for being such an important part of our hospice family.
