Hospice & Community Care Campaign for Hope

Life is a series of passages…birth, death; growing up, growing old; living for the moment, making moments last. Throughout the journey, we each hope for many things. We seek gifts to treasure in our hearts, souls and spirits - understanding, care, hope.

The stories we share through our Campaign for Hope offer a living testament to dreams and wishes fulfilled. In the words and faces of members of our community, our care makes a difference everyday. Through hospice care provided at home, bereavement services for children and families and community services, including support groups and education for professionals, we demonstrate our dedication to providing hope for our community in their time of need.

We look forward to you joining us as we continue our commitment to bring understanding, compassion, strength, support, care, comfort, courage and hope to terminally ill patients, their families and others in our community.

Wayne T. Patrick (1935 – 2001), was honorary co-chairman of the Hospice Capital Campaign Planning Committee and noted philanthropist as well as a community leader. Throughout a long and successful publishing career, he actively made numerous contributions of time, wisdom and experience to the community and surrounding areas.

Patrick has been honored for his efforts and generous support of those endeavors which improve the quality of life for his fellow citizens. His noted honors and awards include: Keeper of the Culture by York County Culture and Heritage Commission, Kiwanis Tablet of Honor, Beyond the Call of Glen, Sertoma Club Service to Mankind, and the Order of the Palmetto. Patrick was the founding director of the York County Community Foundation and a board member of the Foundation for the Carolinas. He was also honored by the American Press Institute (API) as its Lifetime Service Award winner, an award presented only twice before by the API.

Patrick’s guidance, nurturing and humor has provided a strong foundation of support as Hospice & Community Care continues the pursuit and collaborative vision of building a hospice house in our community.
