Stories of Care

Sincere Thanks

We want to extend our sincere thanks to each of you for encouraging us to take our wonderful family trip to California. Your extra effort to have the shower seat and transport chair at the hotel made all the difference in making the trip a success. We hope you know how much Kansas City Hospice means to us. You give us the support and love we need.

What a Blessing

What a blessing you guys were. Thanks for your care and guidance!

I Found My Calling

My dad was a hospice patient in 2005 for a month before he passed away. Shortly thereafter, a lifelong friend invited me to assist on a KC Hospice fundraising committee. Today, I’m a full-time volunteer. Could I be any more thankful for this journey? No way, not in a thousand lifetimes. Kansas City Hospice & Palliative Care is my calling, and I look forward to many more years of service.
