Dear friends,
I think our Santa Barbara community would be amazed at all of the different Hospice of Santa Barbara events and activities. Apart from our ongoing programs and services, Hospice of Santa Barbara offers a wide variety of unique workshops, events and other learning experiences throughout the year.
Learn @ Lunch
is a popular speakers series with unique perspectives on issues related to end-of-life, grief, and healing. Additionally, we hold community Advanced Care Learning workshops, Art Therapy workshops, and quarterly Art Receptions with local artists who share their stories and healing though art. We also proudly partner with other like-minded community partners, through our Wellness and End of Life Network, to present international level speakers and authors to Santa Barbara--our next being
An Evening with Dr. Sunita Puri
at the Marjorie Luke Theatre on Tuesday, May 5th. Find out about these and other Hospice of Santa Barbara activities by visiting our Events Page

A couple of weeks ago, many of you received a Supporter Survey from Hospice of Santa Barbara in the mail that had the wrong name on the back of the survey. We deeply regret that the mail house made a mistake by not matching the names on the surveys to the names on the mailing envelope.
This has resulted in everyone receiving a survey with the wrong name on it. We currently have about 25 completed surveys that we don’t know who sent in.
A new survey was sent out with the correct names last week. We hope you will take a moment to fill it out.
If you already filled out the old one and aren’t sure if you put your own name on it before sending it back, please call or email so we can figure out which survey belongs to you. You can contact Heather Stevenson at
hstevenson@hospiceofsb.org
or (805) 770-8096.
We so appreciate your understanding, patience, and participation as we work to correct this mistake.
