Hospices often lack the financial and staffing resources needed to fully support bereaved families. As with nursing, the industry-wide labor shortage has impacted bereavement care, which is an underfunded service, according to Dr. Dawn Gross, palliative care physician at University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Health.
This will make the organization’s third center for youth bereavement in the area, with additional locations in Auburndale and Sebring, Florida. The Hosparus Health Resource Center will extend bereavement services and education to underserved communities in that area.
The hospice provider also offers palliative care, veteran and bereavement services, and durable medical equipment (DME) and supplies. We had several things offered virtually, some of our chaplain services, patient visits and volunteer care. Stoneridge Hospice launched in 2020. It was challenging, but not insurmountable.
We have a social worker, medicaldirector, chaplain services, nursing care and nursing assistants, and bereavement and volunteer coordinators. I was employee number five when I started at Emmaus Catholic Hospice. We’re now up to 24 or 25 employees over the course of the last year and half.

The nurses, aides, chaplains and social workers on our team teach me daily. The national faculty of the Practice Change Fellows program (particularly Amy Berman, RN, Nancy Wilson, MSW, Rob Schreiber, MD and Eric Coleman, MD,) provided inspiring mentorship and nurtured my efforts to launch the POLST paradigm in Maine.
