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.”
A retired teacher of human development, musician, botanist, reader, Joan is a happy member of a family ranging from 1-93 years in age.
Legacy’s decision to close Hopewell House inspired Joan to rededicate herself, leading the way for this special resource she founded to continue serving those in need. Joan, currently 87 years of age, is the spirited President of our non-profit, Friends of Hopewell House.
