SPRING 2023
Celebrating 45 Years in our Communities This year marks our 45th anniversary of providing expert
and compassionate care to individuals who are dealing with
serious illness and going through their end-of life journey. Our passionate commitment to the communities we serve began in 1978 as Hospice of the Bluegrass and continues to flourish today with a variety of care services that offer support to patients and families—with hospice care remaining at our core. Today, as Bluegrass Care Navigators, we are applying our deep expertise and best practices learned from hospice care to help people through many different health care challenges in an expanding variety of ways. It is thanks to you and our Caring Community of donors, volunteers, and supporters that we continue to grow. Thank you for helping us reach more patients in need of our care and for helping thousands of individuals to achieve the same level of comfort and dignity at end-of-life that we all deserve. Your philanthropic support makes it possible for programs such as Integrative Medicine and Bright Path Pediatric Palliative Care to deliver complementary and collaborative care that promotes the well-being of all our patients - adults and children - as well as their families.
over the years. Today, in 2023, we are providing expert care to more than 2,000 Kentuckians daily.
We know how important it is to spend quality time with loved ones during their final months, allowing families the time and space to say goodbye on their own terms. But we also understand just how overwhelming losing a loved one can be—that’s why we are committed to providing Grief Care to individuals who have experienced the loss of a loved one. We offer our Grief Care services not only to our patient families – but to anyone in the community who needs us. This is only possible through the continued support of our donors. And for the last 45 years, families across the Commonwealth and beyond have come to see Bluegrass Care Navigators as a steadfast and trusted friend, providing expert, compassionate care to generations of loved ones. As we commemorate this milestone together, we hope that you will consider renewing your generous support.
