We had a great turnout for our Easter Egg Hunt at the Hamilton Inpatient Care Center last Saturday! Kids enjoyed hunting for Easter Eggs, crafting, and the miniature horses experience provided by The Cincinnati Therapeutic Riding & Horsemanship Group. The miniature horses were wonderfully therapeutic for patients and their families. Thank You North Team!!

Hospice of Cincinnati was proud to support the Tri-state Honor Flight’s Flightless Program this past weekend. More than 50 veterans and their guardians attended the ceremony, with hundreds of community members gathered to give them the welcome home that many of these veterans had never received.

HOC Account Executive, Carole Quackenbush, coordinated the event and many members of our HOC staff joined the large crowd of supporters to cheer these local heroes as they exited the building. It was a deeply moving moment—there was not a dry eye in the room.

What an honor! HOC Medical Director, Dr. Manish Srivastava, recently presented our Advanced Cardiac Care Program (“A Specialized Program for Hospice Patients Living with End Stage Heart Failure”) at the 33rd IAPCON 2026, Annual International Conference of the Indian Association of Palliative Care - located in Hyderabad, India.

This program, certified by the American Heart Association, was well received by the audience. There were even questions from attendees about how the program could be implemented in India.

Hospice of Cincinnati Volunteer Doula, Susan Schmidt, was recently involved with a project that included a patient and her 13-year-old daughter, who is a blossoming artist. In an effort to bring mother and daughter together to create a keepsake, the idea was born for the duo to draw a picture together. Abstract art was chosen as the theme, and the creation process began. Daughter Lasey went first drawing a giant heart, then mom followed by drawing a circle. Susan was invited to participate, so they took turns adding various shapes to the drawing until they felt it was complete. They decided to paint the picture, giving it a mosaic-like appearance, and then all three signed their initials with a Sharpie.

Lasey’s mom passed away not long after the project was completed. She has shared this touching story with others as she navigates her journey of grief. She is grateful to her mom for completing the project since art wasn’t necessarily her “thing,” but also because her mom wasn’t feeling well that day. Mom was able to rally, determined to gift her daughter a reminder of this precious time together. When asked about the finished product, Lasey said, “I’m happy with it. It’s pretty.” The painting now hangs on a wall where she can see it often, this tangible gesture of love.

We LOVE Expressive Arts!

This is a sample of a Love Collage, one of the new expressive arts projects at Hospice of Cincinnati. Collages are all about empowerment and choice, two core values HOC believes in preserving for patients and caregivers. The freedom to pick patterns, colors, and placement on this collage is liberating and provides a sense of accomplishment. Many families will be receiving a Forever Valentine keepsake this year. Come join us as an expressive arts volunteer and support meaningful moments like these. Visit www.hospiceofcincinnati.org/volunteer to learn more.
