This National Volunteer Week, we’re turning the spotlight on the incredible humans who show up when it matters most. It’s not just about the tasks; it’s about the comfort, the connection, and the quiet moments of grace you provide every single day.

To our volunteers: Thank you for choosing to share your time and your spirit with us.

Want to make a difference that lasts? We have a place for you:
• Pet Visits: Share the love of your furry companion.
• Vet-to-Vet: Honor and connect with fellow heroes.
• Creative Arts: Help craft Remembrance Bears for families.
• Presence: Provide support through patient or 11th-hour visits.
• Behind the Scenes: Support our mission through office help.

No medical experience is needed – just a compassionate heart.

As more potential severe weather moves through our area, safety is our top priority—for our patients, families, referral partners, and community.

Our team is actively monitoring weather conditions and checking in with our patients to ensure they remain safe, supported, and cared for.

We encourage everyone to take a few moments to review the safety tips below, prepare your home, and reach out to loved ones—especially those who may need extra support during storms.

We are here for you—rain or shine. 💙

Stay safe and take care of one another.

When the focus shifts from "curing" to "caring," the goal remains the same: honoring the person. For a parent who has spent a lifetime caring for you, or for yourself as you navigate what's next, dignity is found in the details. It’s in the quiet moments of comfort, the relief of expert pain management, and the reassurance that your story is being heard.

We are here to ensure that this chapter is handled with the highest level of respect, thoughtfully tending to your journey every step of the way.

April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month 💙

At Good Shepherd Hospice, we honor and support those living with Parkinson’s disease, as well as the families and caregivers who walk alongside them every day. Parkinson’s is more than a diagnosis—it’s a journey that requires strength, patience, and compassionate care.

Our team is dedicated to providing comfort, dignity, and personalized support, helping patients live each day as fully as possible. We are here not only for those we serve, but also for the loved ones who need guidance, encouragement, and a helping hand.

Together, we can raise awareness, foster understanding, and remind those affected by Parkinson’s that they are never alone.
