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.

Our Camp STARS bereavement camp is designed to help those that have lost a loved one know they are not alone and that their feelings of loss are normal. This weekend family camp provides a safe environment for both children and adults to share their feelings, meet others in similar situations, and have fun while learning how to grieve in an emotionally healthy way. This year's camp is November 7-9, learn more here. https://vnhs.org/hospice-atlanta/camp-stars/

Supporting our community as they grieve is important this month, National Grief Awareness Month, and every month here at Hospice Atlanta. 

Another way we support those who have suffered a loss is with Camp STARS- our weekend family bereavement camp. For 31 years, we've provided a safe environment for adults and children to share their feelings, meet others in similar situations, and have fun while learning how to grieve in an emotionally healthy way. 
Hear from our campers how important Camp is to their journey.
