Happy to wrap up our Advanced Directives Day by celebrating an incredible radio spot this morning on Panhandle Live by Julie Sayre, Director of Advanced Illness Operations.🎙

In case you missed it, Julie shared the importance of having conversations about your healthcare wishes and taking the steps to put those plans in place. These discussions matter and today was a wonderful reminder of the impact they can have on individuals and families in our community.

Great job, Julie, and thank you for your leadership and passion! 💙

Great time at the Berkeley County Chamber Mixer at the Box Car Stadium Wednesday evening! What a grand slam of a night! ⚾️

Jessica and Caitlin stepped up to the plate representing Hospice in their blue and gold, knocking it out of the park as they connected with so many in our community. Opportunities like this are always a home run for building relationships and strengthening partnerships that help us better serve those in need.

A big thank you to Ken Barton and his team at Steptoe & Johnson for sponsoring such a fantastic evening! We truly appreciate your support in bringing everyone together.

If you feel comfortable, we invite you to reflect and share your experience. Your words could make all the difference. Just scan the QR Code on the postcard.
