Hope means something different for everyone. Over the past year, hope appeared in places that Laura (Pellegrino) Bremer never expected. “I guess I never really understood Hospice…”, she reflects as she shares her story of hope, comfort, dignity, loss, and healing. “The Hospice staff saw a person and saw beyond his illness. There were so many times my dad was ready to quit but you all gave him hope.”
“My Dad is perhaps the strongest, most committed man I have ever met. In the 17 years he battled his illness, all he ever wanted was more time and you gave that to him.”
Hospice’s specialized staff goes to where each patient calls home to guide, to educate, to listen, and to address the needs of the patient and the patient’s family. In 2021, Hospice will serve over 1,400 patients and families covering Cayuga, Onondaga, Oswego, and Madison Counties.
“Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Amid a pandemic, you all found a way to partner with our family and to give my Dad a chance to finish his unfinished business with dignity.”
For over 35 years, we have worked to provide the best end-of-life care to all who need us. Each patient is assigned a patient care team made up of a Hospice physician, a nurse, social worker, home health aide, and chaplain. This team works closely together to provide care tailored to each patient inspiring hope, comfort, and dignity.
