Thank you to Lowell's First Look for sharing this piece on Art Legacy and what it means to our patients and families.
Misty, a former Emmanuel Hospice family and now volunteer with us shares:
“I’m not sure what it is about the hand sculpture, but it just such a visual reminder I think because it’s actually our hands. Anytime I look at it, it’s a visual reminder of Jon and the bond we had. It’s the most personal gift I received during that time. I love it.”
This morning, the Area Agency on Aging of Western Michigan hosted a talk on hospice and palliative care, and Emmanuel Hospice's founder, Sara Lowe, and a few of our friends from Faith Hospice spoke on the benefits to patients and those caring for someone with a serious illness.

Cruz and his human, Janise, have been volunteers with Emmanuel Hospice since 2019! This is what Janise shares about bringing joy and comfort to patients over the last six years:
"I enjoy giving my time through conversations, reading, or playing a game. Cruz also has a sense of when the patient is not feeling too well that day and wants to be near them. I also wanted to share Cruz's great temperament with others to bring peace and comfort to them during this stage in their lives. This is what keeps me coming back volunteering for a great organization like Emmanuel Hospice.”
Thank you Janise, Cruz, and our many volunteers for all you do each day to support our mission and leave a lasting impact in the lives of Emmanuel Hospice patients and their families.

As we turn the page and start a new year, many people are looking for ways to give back to their community – and volunteering can be a great way to do so. “We all get very busy with the holidays, ...
“President Carter’s nearly two-year journey in hospice care highlights its profound value, challenging the misconception that hospice is solely for the final days of life. His experience illustrates how hospice can provide comfort, dignity, and compassion for those navigating life’s final chapter.”
We join them and many others in saying that our heartfelt condolences are extended to the entire Carter family and to those who drew inspiration from his life’s extraordinary work.
The holidays can be even more challenging if you have a loved one facing serious illness. With no obligation necessary, our compassionate team is ready to have a conversation whenever you're feeling up to it.
Care from Emmanuel Hospice means we come quickly when you call, day or night, so that your loved one can enjoy all the warmth that the holiday season brings, right where they are most comfortable. Avoid trips to the hospital, and get care right where you are.
Emmanuel Hospice's grief support team was able to provide insight on navigating grief during the holidays in this touching story by FOX 17.
Wishing comfort, peace, and whatever joy and connection can be found for the Hoekstra family and all those grieving a loss of someone precious this holiday season.

"My favorite thing is to go where I've never been" -Carroll Shelby
Getting to know someone doesn't just include what their medical needs are as they navigate illness. It means learning about their interests, hopes, worries, and what brings meaning to their life. As Mel's Emmanuel Hospice care team has gotten to know him, his love for cars emerged as a recurring theme.
With the help of his care team, Mel visited the Gilmore Car Museum yesterday with his two grandsons and all the support he needed for a worry-free afternoon of fun. Viewing the priceless & beautifully restored vehicles, enjoying lunch in the diner, and being with family was the perfect day out, and being able to talk about the cars with his grandsons was a highlight of the trip!
As we celebrate Hospice Week this Care at Home Month, it's the perfect time to announce that we are 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐧𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦!
Emmanuel Hospice has a full-time staff of Extended Care Nurses to meet the needs of patients on nights and weekends. These beloved caregivers are the ones who answer those late night calls and restore comfort and peace when it's most needed.
If you have a heart for making a difference through compassionate care and the application of your expertise, reach out! There are a variety of shift configurations available to fit your schedule.
In the weeks surrounding Veterans Day, the Emmanuel Hospice team visits Veterans in the community to offer them an immersive experience through 3D virtual reality tours of the war memorials in Washington, D.C., created in their honor. These tours allow them to explore the WWII, Korean War, Vietnam War, and Women's Memorials. Afterward, each Veteran is presented with a star from a retired flag and a heartfelt message that they are never forgotten.
A small token of our immense gratitude, it’s truly an honor to be part of this meaningful gesture.
I got to see the War Memorial of Korea in person in Seoul last year & it was incredibly impressive & extra special because my grandpa served in the Korean War. I’m glad these Veterans get the opportunity through technology to see it as well. ❤️
This is soooo wonderful!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼💞 So many of them cannot travel or just the anxiety of travel is too much for them! To do this in the private setting I’m sure was absolutely amazing!
As National Care at Home Month continues, this week focuses on Palliative and Advanced Care.
Emmanuel Hospice strives to be a resource to our West Michigan community, so throughout the month of November, we will be sharing helpful information to empower and assist those who are facing serious illness or supporting someone who is.
Talking about a serious illness is challenging, even with those we are closest to. This article from CaringInfo provides practical tips for how to go about difficult conversations with your Inner Circle.
Today kicks off a very important month for the work and mission of Emmanuel Hospice and organizations like it!
November is National Care at Home Month, and to start off the month we are celebrating family caregivers!
Family caregivers often juggle professional and personal demands, financial challenges, and even physical issues of their own while caring for a loved one. One in five Americans provide unpaid care for a family member, and if they were compensated at the same rate as professional caregivers, it would amount to more than $1 trillion dollars per year.
If you need help caring for a loved one, call us any time to talk with our compassionate team and ask any questions you may have.
At Emmanuel Hospice, we believe that spiritual well-being is a vital part of the care we provide. Our team is dedicated to supporting individuals of all faiths and belief systems, understanding that questions about meaning naturally arise as we navigate the end of life journey.
Whether through compassionate listening, meaningful conversations, or simply being present, we strive to honor each person's unique journey and provide comfort during life's most challenging moments.
Join us in recognizing the importance of spiritual care in our community, and celebrating those who provide this loving care every day.
I can't say enough about Emmanuel Hospice and Pastor David. Pastor David showed spiritual care every time he came to visit with prayer and singing. The compassion and love they all showed my mom in her final months was truly amazing. Thank you all again!
Often the most important part of a patients journey.
This past Saturday, the Emmanuel Hospice team had the honor of granting Marjorie Price’s patient wish—a fishing trip that brought together her family, friends, and the outdoors she’s loved all her life.
Once the plans were in place, Marjorie was beaming with anticipation. She even mentioned she couldn’t sleep the night before because she was so eager for the day ahead! With a smile on her face all day, Marjorie fondly shared stories about her past fishing adventures, like marking her initials on each of her lures and renting fishing boats daily on family trips.
When Marjorie was asked about her favorite part of the day, she simply said, "All the people here to see me." Surrounded by loved ones and the great outdoors, Marjorie’s wish brought joy, laughter, and unforgettable memories.
Days like this mean more living for patients like Marjorie. She got to spend the day living fully, savoring the people and moments that matter most to her.
A big thank you to Fresh Coast Kitchen for donating the sandwiches Marjorie was so excited to enjoy with her family! As soon as we told them about this wish, they jumped in to help. Thank you for serving the community alongside us!
I have been blessed for the past two years by the loving care of Emmanuel Hospice. Every person, nurse, social worker, Chaplin, massuse, especially aide, has been special. They even got me from home to see my daughter's entry downtown at Art Prize.
I want to say thank you to Emmanuel Hospice for helping pull This together. What a wonderful day we had.And thank you Fresh coast kitchen.for the wonderful food you provided It was wonderful to see the smile on mom's face and the beautiful weather that we had on that day.God blessed us all

President Carter’s willingness to share his hospice experience was an act of courage and openness that will benefit others for years to come.
Our colleagues at the National Partnership for Healthcare and Hospice Innovation put it aptly:
“President Carter’s nearly two-year journey in hospice care highlights its profound value, challenging the misconception that hospice is solely for the final days of life. His experience illustrates how hospice can provide comfort, dignity, and compassion for those navigating life’s final chapter.”
We join them and many others in saying that our heartfelt condolences are extended to the entire Carter family and to those who drew inspiration from his life’s extraordinary work.

Congrats John!
We're so proud that Emmanuel Hospice's own Jamie DeKorte has been chosen as a recipient of the Care As It Should Be Award by the Teleios Collaborative Network.

"She is dedicated to being the best she can be. Jamie embraces new initiatives and is hungry to learn and grow in her skill set. She is kind, compassionate, and a fierce advocate for those in need."
"By including the community staff she is empowering everyone to be a part of the care team and to improve the care of our patients."
"Jamie is so caring and attentive to the small details. She really cares about our patients. She truly exemplifies our mission and vision."
"If I or one of my loved ones is ever in need of hospice services one day, I would be so deeply lucky to have Jamie."
Congratulations, Jamie! We are blessed to serve alongside you!

So deserving Jamie! Proud of all you have done for our patients and families. Congratulations!

"My favorite thing is to go where I've never been"
-Carroll Shelby
Getting to know someone doesn't just include what their medical needs are as they navigate illness. It means learning about their interests, hopes, worries, and what brings meaning to their life. As Mel's Emmanuel Hospice care team has gotten to know him, his love for cars emerged as a recurring theme.
With the help of his care team, Mel visited the Gilmore Car Museum yesterday with his two grandsons and all the support he needed for a worry-free afternoon of fun. Viewing the priceless & beautifully restored vehicles, enjoying lunch in the diner, and being with family was the perfect day out, and being able to talk about the cars with his grandsons was a highlight of the trip!

A great place to volunteer and work!
"It's never too late to thank a Veteran."
In the weeks surrounding Veterans Day, the Emmanuel Hospice team visits Veterans in the community to offer them an immersive experience through 3D virtual reality tours of the war memorials in Washington, D.C., created in their honor. These tours allow them to explore the WWII, Korean War, Vietnam War, and Women's Memorials. Afterward, each Veteran is presented with a star from a retired flag and a heartfelt message that they are never forgotten.
A small token of our immense gratitude, it’s truly an honor to be part of this meaningful gesture.

I got to see the War Memorial of Korea in person in Seoul last year & it was incredibly impressive & extra special because my grandpa served in the Korean War. I’m glad these Veterans get the opportunity through technology to see it as well. ❤️
This is soooo wonderful!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼💞 So many of them cannot travel or just the anxiety of travel is too much for them! To do this in the private setting I’m sure was absolutely amazing!
Thank you for bringing these viets the pictures.

As National Care at Home Month continues, this week focuses on Palliative and Advanced Care.
Emmanuel Hospice strives to be a resource to our West Michigan community, so throughout the month of November, we will be sharing helpful information to empower and assist those who are facing serious illness or supporting someone who is.
Talking about a serious illness is challenging, even with those we are closest to. This article from CaringInfo provides practical tips for how to go about difficult conversations with your Inner Circle.

Today kicks off a very important month for the work and mission of Emmanuel Hospice and organizations like it!
November is National Care at Home Month, and to start off the month we are celebrating family caregivers!
Family caregivers often juggle professional and personal demands, financial challenges, and even physical issues of their own while caring for a loved one. One in five Americans provide unpaid care for a family member, and if they were compensated at the same rate as professional caregivers, it would amount to more than $1 trillion dollars per year.
If you need help caring for a loved one, call us any time to talk with our compassionate team and ask any questions you may have.

At Emmanuel Hospice, we believe that spiritual well-being is a vital part of the care we provide. Our team is dedicated to supporting individuals of all faiths and belief systems, understanding that questions about meaning naturally arise as we navigate the end of life journey.
Whether through compassionate listening, meaningful conversations, or simply being present, we strive to honor each person's unique journey and provide comfort during life's most challenging moments.
Join us in recognizing the importance of spiritual care in our community, and celebrating those who provide this loving care every day.

I can't say enough about Emmanuel Hospice and Pastor David. Pastor David showed spiritual care every time he came to visit with prayer and singing. The compassion and love they all showed my mom in her final months was truly amazing. Thank you all again!
Often the most important part of a patients journey.
This past Saturday, the Emmanuel Hospice team had the honor of granting Marjorie Price’s patient wish—a fishing trip that brought together her family, friends, and the outdoors she’s loved all her life.
Once the plans were in place, Marjorie was beaming with anticipation. She even mentioned she couldn’t sleep the night before because she was so eager for the day ahead! With a smile on her face all day, Marjorie fondly shared stories about her past fishing adventures, like marking her initials on each of her lures and renting fishing boats daily on family trips.
When Marjorie was asked about her favorite part of the day, she simply said, "All the people here to see me." Surrounded by loved ones and the great outdoors, Marjorie’s wish brought joy, laughter, and unforgettable memories.
Days like this mean more living for patients like Marjorie. She got to spend the day living fully, savoring the people and moments that matter most to her.
A big thank you to Fresh Coast Kitchen for donating the sandwiches Marjorie was so excited to enjoy with her family! As soon as we told them about this wish, they jumped in to help. Thank you for serving the community alongside us!
