Warm Greetings to This Special Time of Reflection
From Hospice Director Paula Pennington
On behalf of our entire staff and Samaritan Foundations, we welcome you to our 2023 Light up a Life ceremony.
We take this time to honor and remember the patients we have served in hospice during the past year. We also remember loved ones from our community, whose names have been submitted to us for recognition.
We thank you for partnering with us to care for your loved one at the end of their life. Our Samaritan mission of “Building Healthier Communities Together” is never far from our practice as we care for patients and families. We are humbled by the trust you have placed in us as we strive to bring compassion and respect to every patient visit. Thank you again for your trust and support.
We honor and remember our mid-Willamette Valley patients who have died this past year.
We thank you for the gift your living brought to each of us.
In Remembrance of Our Coast Patients
We honor and remember our central Oregon Coast patients who have died this past year.
