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've had a great day honoring our Veteran hospice patients for their courage, service, and connection. Our Veteran Volunteer retired Navy Captain Alan, traveled around to our patients’ homes today, honoring their service with a We Honor Veterans pinning event. A few of our patients honored today are shown here: Duane, an Air Force pilot, and later a commercial pilot, with a flawless 30-year flying record, and Edward “Ted,” a Navy veteran and centenarian honored at age 102. 
Alan, our Volunteer and a retired Navy Captain who served aboard the USS Long Beach during the Vietnam War, has spent over 15 years giving back to fellow veterans through visits and veteran pinning ceremonies. Through these events, Alan brings honor, understanding, recognition, and the unique bond that only a fellow service member can share.

Our Visiting Nurse Community Care Program leaders were proud to participate in today’s Newton County Senior Center community event, sharing how our full continuum of healthcare, aging services and provider networks offer the necessary care and resources needed. Every conversation and resource provided ensures those who need care know about the resources available, and understand the steps to access the healthcare and services they need.

Visiting Nurse loves celebrating Our Amazing Home Health PTs and PTAs!

October is Physical Therapy Month, and our Home Health leader Jacqueline Ralph Blair brought the team together for a fun evening of bowling to celebrate the incredible work they bring into homes every day. This celebration was a small way to say thank you for the big impact they make in people’s lives.

In these times, connection and appreciation mean more than ever — and it was wonderful to spend time together as a team. 💙
