This weekend’s snowfall has us reminiscing about our annual Pedi Pal (Pediatric Palliative Care) Gift Drive, led by the Care Dimensions Child Life Team, which was another outstanding success this year. Organized by Care Dimensions Child Life Specialist Shannon Dean, this incredible team effort brought together the generosity of Care Dimensions staff and our community—collecting more than 400 gifts, along with $4,000 in gift cards and monetary donations. These contributions supported our Pediatric Palliative Care patients and their siblings.

We are especially grateful to our partners at Beauport Ambulance Service, Inc., whose kindness and support made a meaningful impact. Their team helped collect a significant portion of the gifts and donations from their community and assisted with deliveries to families—creating joyful, memorable moments along the way by inviting children to sit in the ambulance, turn on the lights, and enjoy a truly special experience.

Special thanks as well to Masconomet Regional High School and their EMS and DECA programs, who helped gather gifts and donations for this effort.

We accept donations for our Pedi Pal Gift Drive throughout the year. If you are interested in supporting this initiative, please contact: info@caredimensions.org

Care Dimensions employees recently volunteered through our Employee Volunteer Program to assemble snack bags for My Brother's Table, the largest soup kitchen on the North Shore, which supports men, women, and children with hot meals and outreach.

As a nonprofit organization, giving back is at the heart of who we are. We’re proud to partner with other nonprofit organizations across Massachusetts to strengthen communities and improve lives—both through the care we provide and the service we give beyond our walls.

The Care Dimensions Employee Volunteer Program is one way we live our mission, offering employees up to four hours of paid time off each year to volunteer in the communities we serve.

Special thanks to Nicole Anderson, Total Rewards Specialist at Care Dimensions, and the rest of the People & Culture Team for organizing this wonderful opportunity!

Nancy Haslett always knew that when she reached the end of her life, hospice care was the path she wanted to take.

At the Care Dimensions Hospice House, she and her family found comfort, peace, and expert care in the environment she had hoped for. Surrounded by autumn leaves, loved ones, and compassionate staff, Nancy was able to spend her final weeks feeling supported and at ease. With 24/7 care, her comfort was always the priority.

“It was just a revelation,” Julia shared. “Medical professionals who would sit and talk at length, a constant and comforting chaplain, and nurses always checking in. It was a remarkable and healing experience.”

Her family describes their time at the hospice house as “a deeply humane gift,” one that allowed them to truly be present with each other and honor a life defined by kindness, clarity, and joy in everyday moments.

To honor Nancy’s life, Julia and Adam (pictured individually with their mother) purchased a tribute brick that was placed along the walking path surrounding the Garden of Remembrance at the Care Dimensions Hospice House—on the same grounds that offered them comfort and reflection during their time together. The path, made up of tribute bricks honoring loved ones, creates a meaningful space where families can remember and celebrate the lives connected to the hospice house.

Lisa Dana and her sister, Tina Morris, have been dedicated supporters of Care Dimensions for many years. From walking on Team “Geez Louise” in the Walk for Hospice to providing cozy blankets for our patients and families through their nonprofit organization, LadyBug Love.

Their generosity reflects a passion inspired by their mother’s love of ladybugs. They continue to support Care Dimensions in gratitude for the care and support their loved ones received.

We’re especially grateful for their recent donation of ladybug-themed children’s books for the Children’s Bereavement Rooms at both the Kaplan Family Hospice House and the Care Dimensions Hospice House.
