WHO WE ARE

September 2021

Hospice Savannah presents a very special Cause For Celebration party as part of our annual Summer Nights party series — Saints & Sinners, On the Half Shell!

Hosted by the Hospice Savannah Board of Trustees, the Saints & Sinners party will offer a whimsical look at 100+ portraits of Savannah’s leaders, risk-takers, and beloved characters hand-painted on oyster shells by talented Savannah artist, Shelley Smith.

This unique fundraiser supports the important programs and services of Full Circle Grief and Loss Center and the Healing Arts of Massage Therapy and Music Therapy.

We will have COVID-19 safety protocols in place at the event and guests will be asked to wear a mask whenever they're not actively eating or drinking.

6th Annual Yoga Relay

You are invited to join us in raising support for our local caregivers by joining together in a yoga relay! What’s a Yoga Relay? We will do 100 sun salutations together - you can do them all yourself, or create a relay team and tag in and out as needed.

A caregiver is someone who provides care to another person who is elderly, ill, or disabled. Family caregivers receive little training on how to deliver complicated care. Not surprisingly, research shows that family caregivers are at increased risk for health, emotional, financial, and work-related problems. Hospice Savannah’s Edel Caregiver Institute is our community’s resource for hands-on training and support for family caregivers.

5:30 pm Event Begins | 6:00 pm Sun Salutations begin

Location: Isle of Hope Marina (Rain or Shine!)

50 W Bluff Drive, Savannah, GA 31406

Bring your yoga mat, a hand towel, and water bottle.

Masks are encouraged, but not required.

The Five Spot's food truck will be on-site serving up your favorite dishes and Johnny Ganem's will be bartending. Frond and Fern Marketplace will also be present so you can browse and shop from local artisans.

$35 per person | $40 after October 1st

All proceeds will be donated to Hospice Savannah’s Edel Caregiver Institute. If you can't make it to the event, but still want to support you can donate here.

As of mid-August, Full Circle Grief and Loss has switched all of its groups and individual sessions to a virtual format for the foreseeable future. It's our hope that the October 3rd memorial service will be able to be held in-person, as well as live streamed on Facebook, but that may change.

For more information or to schedule a virtual appointment, call our bereavement counselors at (912) 303-9442.

The Steward Center for Palliative Care reduces symptom burden and improves quality of life for people with a serious illness by providing specialized symptom management and psychosocial support.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, our role as an added layer of support to patients who are facing the uncertainty of a COVID-19 diagnosis, to families who cannot be present, and to our fellow health care workers who are facing burnout is more important than ever.

In many ways the Steward Center’s interdisciplinary team is working harder than it ever has before, but we are grateful for the time we have to take care of our community members and make a difference in their health care journey.

As the number of hospitalized patients infected with COVID-19 continues to rise, we would like to offer a friendly reminder about how you can stay safe and help protect your health care providers and vulnerable neighbors.

If you or your loved one would like to learn more about palliative care and how we help, please call us at (912) 354-8014.
