Dear Friends, Families, and Community,

As we mark the 45th anniversary of our hospice organization on September 19, I find myself reflecting on the remarkable journey we have undertaken together. It is with immense gratitude and pride that I share this moment with you, as we celebrate not just the passage of time, but the countless lives touched and the enduring spirit of compassion that defines our mission.

Forty-five years ago, our founders envisioned a place where every individual facing life’s final chapter could receive care that was compassionate and thoughtful. From those humble beginnings, we have grown into a beacon of hope and support, thanks to the unwavering commitment of so many exceptional people.

To the families we have had the honor to serve, thank you. Your courage, trust, and resilience have been the cornerstone of our work. It is through your stories, your struggles, and your moments of grace that we have learned and grown. Your strength in the face of adversity continually inspires us to strive for excellence and to provide the highest quality care possible.

To our healthcare partners with whom we share a unique understanding and common goal of caring for those who need us the most, we are fortunate to work alongside you to ensure everyone gets exactly the care they need, when they need it and when it’s right for them.

Our dedicated community has been our pillar of support, and for that, we are profoundly grateful. Your involvement, whether through participating in events, advocating for our cause, or simply spreading the word about the importance of hospice care, has allowed us to expand our reach and enhance the quality of our services. It is your belief in our mission that fuels our passion and drives us forward.

To our generous donors, your contributions have made a significant impact on the lives of so many. Your financial support has enabled us to advance our programs, invest in new technologies, and ensure that no one in need of our services is turned away. Every donation, large or small, has played a vital role in sustaining and growing our organization, and for that, we are deeply appreciative.

Our volunteers are the heartbeat of our organization. Your selfless dedication, countless hours, and unwavering commitment have been instrumental in delivering the warmth and personal touch that define our care. You are the unsung heroes who bring comfort and companionship to those living with advanced illness, and your efforts do not go unnoticed.

And to our incredible hospice team—your professionalism, compassion, and tireless dedication are the foundation upon which our success is built. Every day, you go above and beyond to ensure that our patients and their families receive not only exceptional care but also the emotional and spiritual support they need. It is your empathy and expertise that truly set us apart, and I am continually in awe of the profound difference you make in the lives of those we serve.

As we celebrate this significant milestone, let us remember that our work is not just about marking years, but about the countless meaningful moments, the shared experiences, and the profound impact we have made together. The legacy of our organization is not measured in time alone but in the lives we have touched and the enduring spirit of compassion we continue to uphold.

Here’s to the next 45 years and beyond, as we continue to embrace our mission with the same passion and dedication that have guided us from the beginning. Thank you for being a part of this extraordinary journey and for making it possible for us to carry forward our promise of compassionate care.

With deepest gratitude and warmest regards,

Becky Miller
