"Death is not the ultimate tragedy of life. The ultimate tragedy is depersonalization-dying in an alien and sterile area...separated from the spiritual nourishment that comes from being able to reach out to a loving hand...separated from the desire to experience the things that made life worth living...separated from hope." Norman Cousins

Heartland Hospice's goal is that no patient should die alone. We need volunteers to help us transition our patients from life to death by creating a peaceful setting through prayer, music, poetry, candles, and most importantly presence.
