The Hospice Atlanta commitment to quality care extends beyond our patients and families. We recognize our responsibility to the greater community—a community filled with people experiencing grief. While we understand that grief can be heavy, we also know that heavy loads are much lighter when shared.

We’re proud to share our President and CEO, Dorothy Davis, joined other Georgia healthcare leaders this week in Washington DC, gathering April 9 for LeadingAge Lobby Day. 
The team meet with both Republican and Democratic representatives to ensure healthcare and choice remain an option for seniors. 
As Visiting Nurse began over 76 years ago, our mission is to improve the lives of those we serve, and we carried the voices of our patients and caregivers to the Georgia representatives. 
We honor this dedicated team of healthcare leaders (Ginny Helms, Deke Cateau, Chris Keysor, Karon Nixon) committed to work in connection directly with local and federal policymakers, to continue helping to drive meaningful change and create a more equitable healthcare system for all. Thank you to these strong leaders, for their unwavering dedication and for being a voice for those who need it most.
