We are so grateful to the ladies of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.® Nu Sigma Omega Chapter of Tupelo for their generous donation and continued support of Sanctuary Hospice.

Your spirit of service and commitment to our community helps us provide comfort, dignity, and compassionate care to the patients and families we serve every day. Thank you for making a difference right here at home!

Today, we extend our deepest condolences to the family of one of Sanctuary’s longest-serving volunteers and dedicated advocates, Doc Robbins.

Doc was a familiar and beloved presence around Sanctuary. From his time at the Village Shoppe—where fellow volunteers loved him dearly and never missed a chance to tease him (see pic below)—to standing at the doors each year with Lauren Patterson to welcome guests to Celebration Village, he gave his time with a joyful spirit. On Saturdays during Celebration Village, you might hear Doc’s voice over the PA system sharing game scores so shoppers wouldn’t miss a moment while they browsed. At the Hospice House, he was known for lifting the spirits of patients, families, and staff with his kindness and warmth.

Doc left his mark not only on Sanctuary, but on the hearts of so many in this community. We are grateful for the years he gave us, the laughs we shared, and for the difference he made in the lives of others.

Please keep his family and loved ones in your thoughts and prayers in the days ahead. 💙

🌟 Employee of the Month – January 2026 🌟

Please join us in congratulating our January Employee of the Month, Sandra Parker, our incredible Dietary Manager!

Sandra leads the heart of our Sanctuary kitchen, guiding her team in preparing the delicious meals and treats that bring comfort to our patients, families, and staff each day. Her creativity shines through in everything she does — from beautifully presented dishes for special events to the homemade cakes she lovingly bakes for Celebration Village.

During the recent ice storm, when many of our staff sheltered in place to continue caring for patients, Sandra made sure everyone was nourished and cared for as well. From a fully laid-out taco bar to warm, comforting meals, she and her team went above and beyond to lift spirits.

Sandra pours her heart into every plate that leaves the kitchen, and her kindness, dedication, and creativity make a lasting impact on our entire Sanctuary family. We are truly grateful for the love she serves through her work each and every day.

Congratulations, Sandra, and thank you for all you do! 💙

💙 NEW SERIES: DID YOU KNOW?

When people hear “Sanctuary Hospice,” many immediately think of our Hospice House and we’re so proud of the comfort and care provided within those walls.

But did you know that much of our care happens right in the homes of patients across our community?

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be sharing simple “Did You Know?” moments to help families better understand hospice, the support available at home, and what makes Sanctuary special.

Hospice is about more than a place.
It’s about people, comfort, and care wherever you choose to call home.🏠

For questions about whether Sanctuary may be the answer you need, call us at 662-844-2111! 📞

Take a Virtual Tour of the Sanctuary Hospice House 💙

We often hear from families who aren’t quite sure what the Hospice House is like…or how it msy fit into their care options. To help, we’d love to share a virtual tour available on our website for anyone who would like a closer look.

While the tour is a few years old, much remains the same—and there have also been some wonderful updates along the way. One of those additions is The Patterson Pavilion, a peaceful courtyard space where patients and families can enjoy fresh air, quiet moments, and time together outdoors. There have also been furniture and comfort updates since the tour was created.

We’re also often asked an important question:
👉 “If a patient comes to the Hospice House, can they later return home?”

Absolutely.
If a patient improves or simply wishes to go home, that choice is honored. Our home hospice services can follow the patient there and continue providing care and support.

For some families, going directly from the hospital to home can feel overwhelming. In those situations, the Hospice House can offer a gentler transition - allowing patients to begin care here and later move home with our home hospice team continuing to walk alongside them.

As a reminder, we provide hospice care:
• In patient homes
• At the Hospice House
• In many area nursing homes
• In assisted living communities

We are proud to be a nonprofit hospice, blessed to serve 18 counties across North Mississippi and our community for more than 20 years.

If you ever have questions or simply want to talk through options, please know we are always here for you.

💙 Care, compassion, and choices—every step of the way.
