Joshua's Place Opens

 

Hospice Caring, Inc. held the dedication of Joshua's Place on June 22, 2007.  An addition to The Hospice Caring Cottage, Joshua's Place was made possible by a generous Opportunity Grant from the Carl M. Freeman Foundation as well as various community business and friends.  Joshua's Place, named for the late Josh Freeman, is a resource center for the community.  Providing space for meetings, gatherings, and end-of-life and bereavement information, Joshua's Place will enable Hospice Caring to further expand its unique services to Montgomery County.
