<p><strong>About Presbyterian Hospice &amp; Palliative Care:</strong></p>
<p>When the Presbyterian Hospice &amp; Palliative Care team walks through each patient&rsquo;s front door, the goal is to provide that &ldquo;home care&rdquo; environment of compassion and comfort for patients wherever they reside - in their family home, a long-term care facility, at the hospital or on the Harris Hospice Unit at Presbyterian Hospital.</p>
<p>With a shift from curative to comfort care, Presbyterian Hospice &amp; Palliative Care provides physical, emotional and spiritual care for patients at end of life and emotional and spiritual support for their families.</p>
<p>Presbyterian Hospice &amp; Palliative Care provides hope, comfort and care to more than 5,000 families each year. Your support of Strokes of Compassion will help fund Presbyterian Hospice &amp; Palliative Care&rsquo;s planned expansion of the Harris Hospice Unit, a short-stay transitional unit &ndash; a home away from home &ndash; located at Presbyterian Hospital in Charlotte. &nbsp;</p>
<p>We invite you to Open a Door to Renewed Hope for the many families facing the end of life journey with a loved one.&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="http://www.presbyterian.org/hospice ">www.presbyterian.org/hospice&nbsp;</a>&nbsp;&nbsp; 704-384-6478</p>
