We are proud to share this story from our Fort Wayne Heartland Hospice location, where the clinical team helped one of our patients fulfill a lifelong dream - throwing the first pitch at a baseball game. This week, he did the honors at the Fort Wayne TinCaps game. His family shared, "We had no idea hospice could do this."
