MARK YOUR CALENDARS! 12•10•20
We want to invite you to join us for a FREE event on December 10. Take 10 is a virtual gathering to tackle urgent questions about end of life.
Speakers include celebrities and unsung heroes, from the well-known to the emerging. You can build your own agenda by picking the talks you think will be the most interesting.
We know it’s difficult to think about the end of our own lives, and of those we love. But we also know that this year, especially, it’s on all of our minds. It often feels too early to talk about death... until it’s too late.

As both of us are proud Tulsa Area United Way partner agencies, Hospice of Green Country answered the call of the Tulsa Day Center for men’s winter coats today. While the operation of our resale store Sophisticated Seconds remains suspended due to COVID-19, it’s our honor to share our inventory with other community organizations in need. Because we are all in this together and we stand United in Hope! #LiveUnited #BetterTogether
HGC Volunteer, Janet Herndon, is preparing bereavement materials. Now, more than ever, patients and their loved ones need wraparound support. COVID-19 has made caregiving (and volunteering) all the more challenging. However, dedicated volunteers like Janet round out the interdisciplinary team that makes the compassionate care we provide possible.

Stay tuned for more about the 10th Annual Oysters & Ale - tentatively delayed until Fall 2021!
Hospice of Green Country surveyed past supporters as we try to plan what is best for our event guests and partners, our organization, and our community in terms of hosting the 10th Annual Oysters & Ale. As 62.5% of survey respondents agreed, we have decided to delay our event until the fourth quarter of the year when predictions suggest COVID-19 *could* be much less concerning in hopes that we can try to have a safe, in-person event.
For those who love Oysters & Ale, keep your fingers crossed and keep watch for planning updates as we near the summer months! We will monitor the data and post event news as decisions are made.
Oysters & Ale is a charitable fundraising event that supports the mission of Hospice of Green Country. Hospice of Green Country is the only hospice in the Tulsa area with staff committed to providing education-based expert care and nurturing guidance to patients and their loved ones who are in need of compassionate guardians of comfort and dignity when facing the end-of-life experience. Serving the community for over 33 years, Hospice of Green Country believes all patients should die with dignity, in peace and comfort. Hospice of Green Country is the oldest hospice serving northeast Oklahoma as well as a proud nonprofit partner agency of the Tulsa Area United Way.
This is so important.
“Our findings suggest that older adults’ preference for place of death should be a central component of advance care planning, and the receipt of hospice care may be a key to achieving that preference,” said the study’s lead author.

This week, Hospice of Green Country welcomed a humbling kindness. We received a $600 donation with a note that simply stated...
“This is my COVID stimulus. I don’t need it and I wanted it to go where it is needed.”
Thank you for honoring our work and our mission! We are grateful for the generosity of our community as we serve northeastern Oklahoma’s terminally ill.

Love. Honor. Dignity. These are central tenets of end-of-life care at Hospice of Green Country.
As Tulsa’s oldest hospice and a non-profit partner agency of the Tulsa Area United Way, Hospice of Green Country has always proudly served the needs of the at-risk, low income, and minority populations in northeastern Oklahoma. We are known as the hospice that will take patients with difficult or complicated treatment plans and controversial lifestyles without judgment. Hospice of Green Country is honored to provide care to those who need us most - those who are uninsured, underinsured, and lack the resources to pay for hospice services.
Providing inclusive medical care is always right.
Did you know Hospice of Green Country has a monthly internal education opportunity for staff?
