A Tigers Dream Come True

-

Our home care patient Barb had an unforgettable day at Comerica Park last month. She loves watching the Tigers, and she got the star treatment too, thanks to the Detroit Tigers Dreams Come True program. Barb was right on the field where she had her baseball autographed and got to meet some of the players — including her favorite, Miguel Cabrera.

Looking at these photos from her experience, Barb reminds us that it's never too late to make amazing new memories.

    Thank you Angela Hospice and Detroit Tigers, 4 dreams come true. Aunt Barb, Wife Kim and I had a wonderful evening from down on the field to up in the stands. Aunt Barb had a smile from ear-to-ear on her face. From the time she stepped into administration office to leaving Tigers parking. Aunt Barb thanks you Detroit Tigers for the special gifts given for being your guest. Thank Angela Hospice for the Love and Caring you all show and making her dreams come true. God Bless You All...

A Room for Brian

   Angela Hospice's donor-supported Care Center     provided Brian with the care he needed -- and        brought his family peace of mind. The Angela Hospice Care Center has always been a community-driven labor of love. From its construction in the early 1990s; to its expansion a decade and a half later; and right through to the present, where day-to-day operations are supported by the generosity of donors and friends – the Care Center is a rare and valuable community resource made possible by Angela Hospice’s caring supporters. It’s also a godsend for families like the Wilson’s. When their son came to stay with them over Christmas last year, the brain tumor he had been determined to fight for nearly 11 years began to overcome him. At 30 years old, Brian was 6’2” and his disease had progressed to the point that he could no longer walk on his own. How would his parents take care of him in their home that was not wheelchair accessible? ...

I stopped working a few years ago and decided I could use my spare time best by volunteering. I am enjoying every minute! Why Angela Hospice?

Detroit Catholic Central Moms Celebrate Hospice Workers During COVID-19

A group of Detroit Catholic Central High School moms decided they wanted to do something special for our clinical staff, who have been working so hard in the midst of this stressful COVID-19 health crisis. The women coordinated with nurse Kelly Campbell, Home Care Clinical Supervisor for Angela Hospice, whose son recently graduated from Catholic Central. On Wednesday, the group set up 40 handmade signs outside our Care Center facility and along the driveway, to encourage and cheer our healthcare workers. They also tied big white ribbons around the trees to show support for front-line medical staff. Helen Balmforth, Angela Hospice Development and Special Events Manager, related that some staff members teared up when they saw what the Catholic Central moms had done. “I think, for some, it’s an emotional release to see that,” Helen explained. “I think it has a real impact on people.” The group also brought two large cases of toilet paper. Each roll is individually wrapped so staff...
