Wings of Hope Hospice & Palliative Care is a small non-profit jewel serving two counties and surrounding communities in rural southwest Michigan. We are a legacy hospice, formed in 1983 by a group of volunteers. Our community generously supports us as our work has gently touched the lives of many of our families, friends, neighbors and co-workers. A professional healthcare organization, Wings of Hope also has a warm family feel. Visitors to the office are sometimes surprised to hear so much laughter. Our medical director Dr. John Mulder is nationally known and recognized for his expertise as a certified palliative care physician. We are proud of the Torch Award for Ethics that we received from the West Michigan Better Business Bureau. We founded and are affiliated with the Wings Home, a 4-bed end of life care home that does not charge hospice patients room and board and where most of the caregivers are volunteers. We are growing and invite motivated and authentic individuals to join our clinical team.
