MARY BETH SCHOEN – Director, CLIENT RELATIONS

"I’m one of 14 children. My mother died when she was just 63, and it was difficult on our whole family. We had each other, but we didn’t have hospice. Almost 20 years later when it became evident my father’s cancer could not be cured, he asked for hospice. The support hospice provided our entire family was immeasurable. All of us, including Dad’s 58 grandkids, saw him live life fully in his final months. His was a ‘blessed death’ in so many ways. Hospice was a huge part of that."
