Bestselling author, Rabbi Harold Kushner, was the guest speaker and guests of all ages were able to relate to the moving insights he shared. Rabbi Kushner is rabbi laureate of Temple Israel in Natick, Mass. He is the author of more than a dozen books on coping with life’s challenges, including most recently, Conquering Fear and The Book of Job: When Bad Things Happened to a Good Person.
As one of the first hospital-based hospice programs in the state of Georgia, WellStar Community Hospice was a pioneer program. Today, care is provided to residents in six counties including Bartow, Cherokee, Cobb, Douglas, Paulding, and the most recent addition, Carroll.
In addition to the home hospice program, the program has now grown to include two inpatient hospices: Tranquility at Cobb, and the newest inpatient hospice, Tranquility at Kennesaw Mountain, which opened this past June. Tranquility at Cobb was the first inpatient hospice in northwest Georgia and became a model for other programs throughout the state.
Event sponsorship proceeds benefited the WellStar Community Hospice Angel Fund Endowment, which helps those in need of care who do not have the ability to pay. WellStar Community Hospice remains committed to caring for all eligible patients regardless of their financial resources. Hospice is a sacred gift to those in need of care, connection, and a peaceful and loving transition.
With its coordinated program of services provided by a team of skilled medical professionals including physicians, nurses, clergy, social workers, and valuable assistance from trained volunteers, WellStar Community Hospice is a model in the industry and has received extensive regional and national acclaim. Knowing that WellStar Community Hospice is close to home is a comfort to so many in our community.
