Hospice Atlanta Grief Support Events

Special Bereavement Events

In Spring each year, Hospice Atlanta provides a free, one day bereavement workshop for individuals and families. In November of each year, Hospice Atlanta presents Camp STARS, 3-day bereavement camp held at Camp Twin Lakes.

Because death brings changes and challenges to those that are mourning the loss of a loved one throughout the year, Hospice Atlanta presents special bereavement events in the Spring and Fall of each year. Each November, Hospice Atlanta hosts Camp STARS (Sharing Together As Real Support), established in 1994, the first three-day bereavement retreat of its kind in Georgia. Thousands of people have been able to experience a safe environment where they can express their grief in ways that are unique to them.

In addition to our November weekend camp, we also offer a one-day workshop in Atlanta each Spring, to help folks learn more about their individual grief and healing.

First in Georgia!
Visiting Nurse is proud to announce that our HeartCare at Home™ program is the first home health program in Georgia certified by the American Heart Association® for Home Health–Heart Failure care.
Because heart failure care doesn’t stop when a patient leaves the hospital. This certification reflects our commitment to evidence-based, high-quality care and our dedicated clinicians who bring specialized heart failure support directly to patients where they are most comfortable, in the place they call home. 

After 78 years, we’re proud to continue advancing care at home. ❤️
