The Spirit of Caring: Hospice T-Shirt Fundraiser
Thank you CBC Bank for your generosity!
In August, our supporters at CBC Bank held a fundraiser for donations, and set us up with a promotional table within their building. Employees also held an internal office drive to replenish our bird seeds for our feeders outside of each patient room at our hospice house. Yesterday, representatives from CBC stopped by to present a generous donation of $1,070, as well as fill our feeders up for patients to enjoy watching the birds. We are so thankful for their support!
What set's our team apart from the rest? We're the only hospice with a hospice house in our area.
While hospice care is mostly provided in our patient's residential setting, we also have an inpatient care facility that fulfills needs requiring clinical treatment of symptoms that cannot be fully managed at home. Our Langdale Hospice House is an elevated level of care that enhances quality of life for our patients, and it gives caregivers a break to handle personal matters and self-care.

***Our video was recorded before COVID-19 began, and want to assure everyone that we are enforcing proper infection control guidelines including wearing masks, disinfecting surfaces, and restricting traffic through our facility. We remain free of any COVID-19 positive patients at Langdale Hospice House.
We received a beautiful donation of artwork at our Langdale Hospice House! THANK YOU Mr. Leon Colvin for sharing your amazing colored-pencil swan design with us, our patients, and visitors. We are so lucky to have a piece of art by someone recognized as the Southeast's premier colored-pencil wildlife artist! We will admire your talent for years to come.
Grief can be a difficult journey. We understand that losing a loved one is a heavy and lonely weight to carry for many of us. But, you are not alone- We're here to support you through it.
Our adult grief support group will begin again next Tuesday, October 13th from 6pm-7pm. It will be held in our administrative building- 2263 Pineview Drive, Valdosta 31602. Please RSVP by this Friday, 10/9, to Jessica- 229-433-7039.
Group participants will continue to meet for five consecutive Tuesdays through November 10th, 2020. We are asking all participants to wear a mask, use hand sanitizer, and keep a 6ft distance between one another. We are also limiting the amount of participants to make sure we're all safe.

We invite their families to join us and honor each loved one by hanging a personalized ornament on our Angel Tree, which hangs in our hospice house throughout the holiday season.

Marquez Roney is one of our home-care nurses for hospice services. We asked him what he values in his work, and he shared, "In reference to the old saying- 'quality of quantity', hospice allows the patient to enjoy the quality of life and time to live to the fullest- at home, surrounded by loved ones and their hospice team. Our care makes this journey much easier. I value the role I play in their compassionate care. Hospice isn't just a job, it's my calling." Thank you, Marquez, for all that you do for our patients and families!

John Bennett, trustee of the Price-Campbell Foundation and owner of Bennett Trust & Elderly Law, awarded Hospice of South Georgiaโs grief support program a grant donation of $20,000.
The Price-Campbell Foundation provides grants to programs who make a positive difference in the community. Mr. Bennett explained, โThe Price Campbell Foundation was created in 1983 by the late Mildred Price, a retired professor at Valdosta State College. She wanted to make a difference in her community, and 37 years later the Foundation continues to do so. The Foundation supports organizations that positively impact our community, Hospice of South Georgia was a worthy recipient of a grant this year.โ
Bereavement support is one of many unreimbursed programs at Hospice of South Georgia, and provides grief support to approximately 300 hospice affiliated and other additional community members at no cost. This program offers grief support for adults and children. Their Healing Hearts Youth Program was developed in 2019 to provide age appropriate grief support services to approximately 30 children and adolescents aged 6 to 17 years annually.
The grant funds will be used towards establishing and expanding grief support to Hospice of South Georgiaโs patient families and other community members through a new bereavement library of childrenโs books, a new serenity garden at their hospice care center- Langdale Hospice House, and continued support for children through Camp Lean On Me and the Healing Hearts Youth program.
For more information on grief services, visit HospiceOfSouthGeorgia.org or call 229-433-7000.
One common myth about hospice and palliative care is that it's giving up hope. That's what Mrs. Mavis Keller felt when her husband first selected hospice care. What she found, however, was a human service that gives her just as much compassionate care and attention as her husband. Her hope lives on by watching her husband have the best quality of life possible. Watch her story below!
When a cure is no longer available for a life-limiting illness, we at Hospice of South Georgia come in to provide comfortable days and more meaning moments with loved ones. We are person-centered care that gives loving attention and support for patients and families. For more information on all the services we provide, please call us at 229-433-7000, or visit our website: HospiceofSouthGeorgia.org

One of our highlights at Langdale Hospice House is the library, lovingly funded and named by Bev Henderson's Doug G. Henderson III Memorial Foundation. It has provided entertainment in visitor's downtime with their loved one, and adds to the peaceful, home-like atmosphere.
Bev has helped so many nonprofit organizations through this foundation in memory of her son, and we at hospice are so grateful for her contributions, not only to our hospice house, but the many generous donations over the years. She has always loved hospice, but her passion for it comes from her personal experience from our grief support program. She said, "I attended the 6 week grief support group, and this gave me the healing I needed by sharing my story. I looked forward to going to these meetings. It was exactly what I needed after Doug passed." Bev is also one of our amazing hospice home care nurses!
Thank you, Bev, for your kind heart and generosity. โค๏ธ

"At Hospice of South Georgia, we are so fortunate to have a team of phenomenal social workers, who play a vital role in caring for our patients and families. The expertise of our social workers in hospice and palliative care support patients and families in advocacy, counseling, end of life planning, resource identification, crisis intervention, education and grief support. Patient-centered care is our focus, as we give individualized support in patient dignity and respect. It is a complete honor to be involved in such an accomplished team.

We canโt let #SocialWorkMonth end without sharing the important work they do for our Healing Hearts Youth program! Our grief specialist helps kids through the loss of a loved one by planning a safe place to work through their grief, all while having fun too- Itโs Camp Lean On Me! Many of our dedicated social workers volunteer at this camp to help these kids cope and memorialize their loved ones. Thank you to all of our social workers for your advocacy and compassionate care to our patients and families, as well as our children in need of grief support!

#Hospice #Nurse #hapcFacesofCaring #humankiness
Here's what each family submitted for Betsy's nomination:
"When Betsy first stepped in our home, she came with a beautiful smile and lots of warmth behind it. A very comfortable relationship began immediately. She couldn't wait to meet our daughter, and I can still hear her say, "Hello, beautiful girl". I get a lump in my throat just thinking about it. She always reassured us that we were doing our best and keeping her comfortable, and we are so grateful for all her gifts that she so generously shared with us."
"Betsy made our entire family feel that they were an important part of my mother's team. She explained many difficult things with ease and made us all feel that we can make mom comfortable. We felt that we were in good hands and could rely on her."
