Minority Outreach Initiatives Underway


African Americans facing life-limiting illness are at risk of not “dying well.” The Faith, Hospice, Love initiative is an outreach program powered by Arkansas Hospice, the Arkansas Hospice Foundation, and the Rita & Alex Hillman Foundation. The project's efforts are aimed at demystifying hospice and palliative care within the Black community via education and informational resources. Knowing what hospice is and how to access it can ensure that minority patients and their loved ones will receive the respect, comfort, and care deserved when facing life-limiting illness. Faith, Hospice, Love events are spearheaded by Minority Outreach Coordinator Kyle L. Jones, an ordained Baptist minister. At outreach events, Kyle coordinates with churches and community groups to present valuable information about hospice care and palliative care opportunities that are available in the communities Arkansas Hospice serves.

Reflections of an Inspiring 9/11 Paramedic


Arkansas Hospice patient Rebecca "Lynn" Luscomb knew long ago that she was meant to help people. That's why she became a paramedic, and why she went to New York City in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. As we near the 21st anniversary of that tragic day, we remember the heroes like Lynn who put service above self in the wake of that national tragedy. We are honored to have been able to care for Lynn after she selflessly cared for so many in her life. Click the video above to hear Lynn's experience in her own words.
