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. Not only could I form a Walk team of co-workers and raise money, but I could raise awareness about Care Dimensions' cardiac program, which I manage. We call our team The Heart Beats. Made up of 16 members from various departments, we're spreading the word about the cardiac program. ...

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. ...
