Over the last few weeks, our business development team has been busy participating in several fun community events! We enjoyed listening to live music and munching on tasty snow cones at the end-of-summer concert at Caretel Inns in St. Joseph. It was the perfect way to end the steamy summer season! We also set up a booth at the Cass County Council on Aging’s annual Health Fair in Cassopolis. With the help of our Volunteer Coordinator, we spread the word about the services we offer all over Southwest Michigan and promoted our hospice volunteer program. We can’t wait to be back again next year!

We hope you all had an amazing weekend celebrating Labor Day! In honor of this patriotic holiday, we wanted to shed light on an event we had earlier this year.

This past Memorial Day, our chaplain and hospice care consultant joined the residents of CrownPointe of Stevensville in an honorary flag-burning ceremony. This flag was properly burned and retired from service. The ceremony was beautiful, and many memories were shared by residents who had also served.

Thank you again to CrownPointe for having us. This was an incredibly unique experience that we will never forget!
