Awesome Cool! Welcome!

They truly are a Big Dill🤣🤣🤣. Welcome aboard. You will love working for this great organization!!!

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.

Did you know?

Having holistic care that's always focused on you and your loved ones, with 24/7 availability for emergent needs can make all the difference.

Questions? Call us at 616.719.0919. Anyone can request an evaluation.

Very enlightening!

March is Social Work month! Social workers all over the world show us what it means to be the change you wish to see in the world, to take compassionate action, and to amplify the voices of the vulnerable.

At Emmanuel Hospice, our social workers are an integral part of the interdisciplinary team, empowering and guiding patients and families to live out whatever time remains in a way that aligns with their wishes and values.

Yes, they have a resource for that!
Yes, they can help.
Yes, they understand.

Thank you, Social Workers! You are a beacon of hope in the world and in the Emmanuel Hospice mission. Happy Social Work Month!

A great opportunity for groups to volunteer! Thank you Rotary Club GR!

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.

We have a volunteer opportunity for every skillset! Tag someone who would be interested, or call 616.719.0919 and ask for Holly, Volunteer Coordinator (hsalas@emmanuelhospice.org)

This is the best hospice around. I am a retired hospice nurse and was working when my mother-in-law and mother passed. Emmanuel Hospice made it possible for me to be a daughter and not a nurse in the last days of their lives. Forever grateful for the care.

February is #AmericanHeartMonth!

This is so wonderful!

MLK's legacy reminds us to look beyond ourselves: to seek first to understand rather than to be understood, to remember the interconnectedness of the human race, to take courageous action, and to do not what is easy, but what is right.

May we be reminded that Dr. King's work continues with us, and may we courageously continue to hope for a brighter future.

The Art & Science of Aging Conference is celebrating its 20th anniversary year! This is a wonderful one-day educational event at Grand Valley State University and, this year, themes include celebrating strength in all phases of the aging process, and the power of wisdom, resilience, and intergenerational ties in the older adult community.

Emmanuel Hospice is proud to be a sponsor once again this year, helping to keep the cost for attendees low. Emmanuel Hospice's believes that hospice (and aging) is "More About Living", and this event is always a wonderful extension of that perspective!

Happy New Year from the Emmanuel Hospice family to you!

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.

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.

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!
