In addition to hospice and palliative care, did you know we provide grief and healing support for the families the serve, and the community in general, free of charge? Our Teddy Bear and Camp Courage programs serve children grieving the loss of a loved one. Our enrichment program includes our Special Needs and WISH (Wishes Impact Serve and Heal) programs for patients, and the addition of complementary services, such as massage/
aroma/pet therapy and ar t/music enrichment. And with our new “Hospice Gives, Hospice Cares� program, our staff members volunteer their time to help other nonprofit organization’s in our service area. Hospice of Western Kentucky’s administrative/clinical of fice is located at 3419 Wathens Crossing in Owensboro.
