Grief Can Look Like this.
Grief is complicated — especially for children.
Grief Awareness Month: we invite you to please share your story and tag us to raise awareness this month!

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.
📱Text CampSTARS to 71777 to support healing.

Today we pause to honor Juneteenth - a powerful reminder of resilience, freedom, and the continued pursuit of equity. At Visiting Nurse Health System, we recognize this day as more than a historic milestone, more so a call to action to listen, learn, and continue building a community where dignity and compassion are extended to all. Having provided care into the homes of Georgians for 76 years, our mission is rooted in the belief that each individual deserves equal access to quality health care. On this Juneteenth, we reaffirm that belief.

📰 Check out the featured article where our President & CEO, Dorothy Davis, talks about the growing financial pressures nonprofit home-based care providers face—especially in a market increasingly shaped by Medicare Advantage.
Dorothy shares insights on how competition for tier 1 patients and reimbursement challenges are shaping the future of care—not just for our patients, but for all of us who may one day need these vital services.
💬 We’re grateful to be part of this important conversation about the sustainability of nonprofit home health—and the critical business drivers that will define its future.
