‘Volunteer Vikings’ Go the Extra Mile at Walk for Hospice
Posted on August 6, 2018 by Fran Clements in Donors, Volunteers, Walk for HospiceI meet a lot of people who want to give back to our organization because they are grateful for the compassionate care their loved ones received at end of life, and I too have been down that road and wanted to give back.

Taking the Walk for Hospice to Heart
Posted on August 2, 2018 by Lili Sanchez in Donors, Walk for HospiceWhen some fellow employees from the Provider Relations department at Care Dimensions issued a Walk for Hospice challenge earlier this year, I saw an opportunity.

Team Cindy and Traditions at Walk for Hospice
Posted on August 2, 2018 by Bruce Billingham in Donors, Volunteers, Walk for HospiceMy family and I became associated with Care Dimensions in 2006, when my wife, Cynthia Spearing Billingham, was admitted to the Kaplan Family Hospice House for end-of-life care. The care and support that Cindy and all of us received from the Kaplan House staff was a blessing we will never forget. I felt that one of the best ways that we could remember Cindy and keep her spirit alive was to participate in the Walk for Hospice, so our children, Dayna and Chase, helped me form Team Cindy that fall. For each year thereafter, Team Cindy has been a supporting force for Care Dimensions. ...
