Little Red Wagon

Hoffman Hospice staff worked with Starlight Children’s Foundation to provide Isabella and her family with their own brand new Radio Flyer wagon. The day before Thanksgiving, the little red wagon was decorated and presented to Isabella and her family. While many children enjoy riding in the iconic wagon this wagon opened up the possibility of a new set of adventures for this blue-eyed beauty! It not only allows Isabella and her favorite new teddy to be taken on walks with her family in comfort and style, but the size of the wagon allows for her medical equipment to be either placed inside it or have it wheeled safely along, out of sight. When your child has a life-limiting illness and your goal is to provide comfort, symptom management and enhanced quality of life it is never too soon to learn about hospice care options available for your child and family.

Our Mission

To celebrate the sanctity of life, provide compassionate end-of-life care and comfort the grieving.

What is Hospice?

Hospice is a special way of caring for someone when a cure is no longer realistic. The focus of hospice is on care - compassionate care that enables patients to continue an alert, pain-free life surrounded by those they love. Hospice provides care that includes the family in all decisions.

Hospice care neither prolongs norhastens death, but provides specialized support during the transition from this life to the next. Most of all, the call for hospice does not signify the end of hope, but simply a change of focus. Patients who get better or wish to seek active treatment for their terminal illness, may discontinue hospice service and go back at a later time.
