New Year, New Opportunities
2013 was another banner year of new opportunities for Compassion Hospice – besides helping a growing number of Southeast Texans during this important time, we provided $150,000 in free care to the area’s needy, grew the number of Southeast Texans employed by Compassion Hospice by 50%, AND had a great color run fundraiser featuring Southeast Texas’ own Kree Harrison, all while focusing on providing a world-class hospice experience for our friends, families and loved ones. 2014 promises to be even better as we move into new facilities to accommodate our growing team – look for construction to begin soon on Eastex Freeway next to Cathedral In the Pines. We’ll be adding sister companies to extend our…
