Music was provided by violinist Dr Rachel Johnson, D.O., who  is in Family Practice at the Robert C. Byrd Clinic in Lewisburg, WV.  She resides in Alderson, WV.  She refers to her violin as her "fiddle" and she entertained guests with some "old tunes" and Irish tunes.   After playing solo for awhile, she played with the gospel group "Forgiven" (Tina Hedrick, Lorena Judy, and Nila Lytle).  Tina & Lorena are from the Williamsburg, WV area and Nila is from Charmco, WV.   Everyone enjoyed the food, music and socializing at this fun event. 

 

 

 

Hospice Care's New Main Office Building is located in Charleston, West Virginia  HospiceCare is celebrating its 30th anniversary, having grown from a small volunteer organization that took care of seven patients with a budget of $500 in 1979, to a major health care provider that in 2008 provided end-of-life care to more than 2,000 West Virginians at a cost of $17 million. Included in that cost is a payroll of roughly $8 million covering the wages of 240 employees who work out of five different locations throughout central West Virginia.

HospiceCare programs included care for the terminally ill that are provided in the patients' homes, assisted living and nursing home facilities, inpatient units in hospitals and at the Hubbard Hospice House.  HospiceCare  also offers Kids Path - a program for children who are afflicted with a life threatening illness but have not been diagnosed as terminal-palliative care consulting, and adult daycare for individuals suffering from Alzeheimer's disease and dementia.

HospiceCare is licensed to provide services in sixteen counties in West Virginia, and there are over 300 active volunteers on the roster today.

Tanyia Montie, RN/MSN/CHPN is the local supervisor.  Penny Cole, Public Relations Coordinator volunteers as guest speaker for civic or church group, organizations, or clubs interested in learning about HospiceCare's services and programs.

HospiceCare hopes that this new facility will offer greater visibility for their local programs and services.

Looks like they had quite an event for their moving celebration.  It also sounds like they are a great organization to have made it 30 years and grown so much.  Congratulations!
