Local Clergy, Faith partners attend Valentine’s Day Brunch with Compass Regional Hospice staff
On Valentine’s Day, Compass Regional Hospice’s Grief Support Services staff hosted a brunch for local clergy and faith-based partners. The morning meal was a way to catch up, connect, and find out if there were any ways Compass Regional Hospice could support our community’s congregations and clergy. Compass Regional Hospice has a strong relationship with its faith-based community, focusing on the spiritual needs surrounding end-of-life care.
