A pioneer in end-of-life care, Joan was instrumental in bringing the British model of inpatient hospice care to the U.S. She also helped craft Oregon’s state policies around hospice care. “I had worked in an inpatient hospice facility in England and learned not everyone can be home or wants to be home,” she says. “I was interested in the problems and solutions for people dying.”

Friends of Hopewell House volunteers have been meeting for a year to find ways to reopen the hospice. We believe that over the past 30 years, Hopewell House has become a rooted and necessary part of our community. The thought of this special building and property becoming something else after helping over 10,000 people die with grace over the years is both alarming and heartbreaking. Hopewell House has been a place of caring and love for them and their families and we need your support.
