Coronavirus Resources

Amid the rise in cases of COVID-19 in the U.S. and Michigan, we have certain protocols and procedures put in place during this unprecedented heath crisis. To protect the health and safety of our patients, clients, staff, and caregivers, Angela Hospice has had to make the difficult decision to postpone the following programs until further notice:
  • In-Person Grief Support Groups
  • Art Therapy
  • Memorial Services
  • Volunteer Services, with the exception of direct patient care support
  • Special Events, including Tai Chi and community events
  • Mass in the Angela Hospice Chapel
We have also put in place a new Visitor Protocol for Care Center Wings A & B effective June 10, 2020, a new Home Care Visit Protocol effective March 24, 2020, and a new Care Center COVID-19 Wing effective April 7, 2020.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we must all work together and implement these changes for the good of those we are privileged to serve. Additional information on Angela Hospice's response to COVID-19 will be added to this page as changes arise.

A Coronavirus Prayer

Jesus Christ, you traveled through towns and villages "curing every disease and illness." At your command, the sick were made well. Come to our aid now, in the midst of the global spread of the coronavirus, that we may experience your healing love.

Heal those who are sick with the virus. May they regain their strength and health through quality medical care.

Heal us from our fear, which prevents nations from working together and neighbors from helping one another.

Heal us from our pride, which can make us claim invulnerability to a disease that knows no borders.

Jesus Christ, you traveled through town and villages "curing every disease and illness." Come to our aid now, that we may experience your healing love.

Jesus Christ, healer of all, stay by our side in this time of uncertainty and sorrow.

Be with those who have died from the virus. May they be at rest with you in your eternal peace.

Be with the families of those who are sick or have died. As they worry and grieve, defend them from illness and despair. May they know your peace.

Be with the doctors, nurses, researchers and all medical professionals who seek to heal and help those affected and who put themselves at risk in the process. May they know your protection and peace. 

Be with the leaders of all nations. Give them the foresight to act with charity and true concern for the well-being of the people they are meant to serve. Give them the wisdom to invest in long-term solutions that will help prepare for or prevent future outbreaks. May they know your peace, as they work together to achieve it on earth.

Whether we are home or abroad, surrounded by many people suffering from this illness or only a few, Jesus Christ, stay with us as we endure and mourn, persist and prepare. In place of our anxiety, give us your peace.

Jesus Christ, heal us.

Prayer from Kerry Weber, Executive Director of America Magazine
