Today we celebrate a physician whose career has truly spanned “the two bookends of life.”

After 13 years of service with HopeHealth, Dr. Richard Long is retiring, leaving behind a legacy of compassion, humility, and extraordinary care.

Early in his career, Dr. Long dedicated himself to family medicine—delivering babies, caring for mothers, and welcoming new life into the world. Later, he discovered a deep calling in hospice care, where he guided patients and families through life’s most tender moments. He once shared that it was a privilege and an honor to walk beside people at both the beginning and the end of life, and that is exactly how he served every patient he met.

Dr. Long has always reminded us that hospice is not just about medicine, but about humanity: being present, easing suffering, guiding families through uncertainty, and honoring what matters most to each person. His calm voice, thoughtful words, and genuine empathy have brought comfort to countless families during their most difficult days.

Thank you, Dr. Long, for your wisdom, your kindness, and your unwavering dedication. Your impact will live on in the lives you touched, the families you supported, and the colleagues you inspired. Wishing you a joyful and peaceful retirement.

As Martin Luther King Jr. Day comes to a close, we reflect on this powerful reminder:

“Everybody can be great because everybody can serve. You only need a heart full of grace, a soul generated by love.” - Martin Luther King Jr.

We are grateful for all who live out this call to serve through kindness, compassion, and care in their communities.
