Community Education
Wings of Hope is transforming the way the community views death and dying by sharpening its understanding of hospice. We want everyone in our service area to appreciate the unique role Wings of Hope plays in meeting the needs of end-of-life patients, and to choose hospice earlier, so that the benefits to the patient and family can result in a substantially improved quality of life for everyone. As the area’s expert in providing care to terminally ill patients, we will educate the community to appreciate hospice as a gift — of time, dignity, comfort and hope.
Wings of Hope in the Community
Our staff and volunteers meet with area businesses, churches, civic groups, nursing homes — in short, wherever we can help people understand death, dying and the role of hospice to support a more abundant life for end-of-life patients.
