President’s Letter<br />
in 2012, <strong>Hospice</strong> & Community Care responded<br />
to a growing need for our care and services from<br />
surrounding counties. We changed our name,<br />
collaborated with WellSpan Health, opened a<br />
new office and established a dedicated team to serve<br />
patients and families in York and Adams counties.<br />
We are already seeing a number of families turning to<br />
<strong>Hospice</strong> for care and support not only at home but<br />
in our <strong>Hospice</strong> Inpatient Centers. In <strong>2013</strong>, we will<br />
continue to see expanded programs and services in this<br />
area, including bereavement support for adults, teens<br />
and children.<br />
This issue takes a focused look at our Inpatient Centers, to help assure families<br />
of the care their loved ones can receive in a beautiful, home-like atmosphere and<br />
how our valued relationships with senior care communities help provide the best<br />
end-of-life care for their residents.<br />
As always, we are grateful for the ongoing support of our community which<br />
makes this care possible for so many. This dedication was reflected during<br />
the Extraordinary Give, a first-ever 24-hour online giving marathon held in<br />
November by the Lancaster County Community Foundation. Your response was<br />
overwhelming and we thank you.<br />
