Maybe the real secret to reaching 100 as gracefully as Arleen Starman isn’t a secret at all… maybe it’s as simple as giving back, staying grateful for each day, spreading kindness, and keeping yourself moving both in body and in purpose.

Arleen has been a hospice volunteer for nearly 26 years, and today, we have the incredible honor of celebrating her 100TH Birthday! 🎉

We spent time with Arleen learning what keeps her riding her bike two miles a day, what inspires her to volunteer, and how she continues to thrive with so much joy and energy. While her habits are impressive, she reminds us that living a happy, healthy, fulfilling life is easier than some might think. It comes down to the basics: gratitude, purpose, movement, and connection.

Here are just a few of Arleen’s words of wisdom:
🗣️ "I am just thankful for every day that I do have."

🗣️ "The people that I work with have inspired me to keep volunteering. I don't know what I would have been doing otherwise, and it is a void in my life that was filled."

🗣️ "I don't sit, well maybe just in the evenings when I watch my sports."

🗣️ "I just get excited about living day-to-day. It's a challenge, but I always have things on the calendar to look forward to."

🗣️ "You will be rewarded very generously with the satisfaction of meeting other people, and those that you come in contact with through volunteering."

🗣️ "I think without my upbringing, I would be a much different person. Without my faith, I don't know where I would be. That's what I'm most grateful for."

Join us in wishing Arleen the happiest 100th birthday and in celebrating a life that continues to inspire all of us. 💙✨

November is both Hospice and Palliative Care Month, two services that are often misunderstood or used interchangeably. While they share similarities, it's important to realize that each plays a unique role in supporting patients and families.

Barb and Miles Gardner share their family’s experience with hospice care. Their daughter, Brittany, passed away at just 48 after a 5-year battle with lymphoma. When she learned of her diagnosis, Brittany chose not to pursue curative treatments. Palliative care would have been a helpful option to support her comfort and quality of life during that time, but it wasn’t yet available. Today, at Great River Health, both hospice and palliative care can provide meaningful comfort, guidance, and support for families like the Gardners. Here's how they each work:

💙Palliative care is specialized medical care for people living with serious illnesses. It can begin at any stage of an illness and work alongside active treatments. The focus is on managing pain and symptoms, reducing stress, and supporting emotional, spiritual, and practical needs. Palliative care helps patients and families understand their options, make informed decisions, and maintain the best possible quality of life—long before a patient is near the end of life.

💙 Hospice provides care for people with an estimated life expectancy of six months or less when the focus shifts from cure to comfort. It begins only when curative treatments are no longer effective or desired. Hospice provides many of the same benefits as palliative care, like pain and symptom management, emotional and spiritual support, and comfort-focused care. Hospice also provides comfort, guidance, and 24/7 support, allowing families to focus on spending meaningful time together. It also offers bereavement services for loved ones.

We’re grateful to offer both services to our community. To learn more about these services, visit our website. 👇

We recognize the holidays, which are meant to be a time of celebration and joy, can be difficult when you are experiencing the loss of a loved one. This past weekend Southeast Iowa Regional Hospice hosted the Annual Memorial Service where members of the team welcomed back the families and friends of the patients served over the last year. It was a time to honor, cherish and remember those who may be gone this holiday season but will never be forgotten.
