Virtual Touch Programs
Hospice of Michigan is sensitive to the current outbreak of Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) and the anxiety that you may be feeling. The safety of our patients, families, volunteers and staff is our priority.
It is also our priority to continue to provide bereavement support to the communities we serve.
While we have temporarily suspended our face-to-face support groups, we are pleased to offer several opportunities to join virtual grief support groups to help keep you connected and supported during these uncertain times.
Joining a virtual group is very simple - you can join by phone or by computer.
Please feel free to join any of the virtual support group options - you are welcome to join more than one. Please contact the Grief Support Services Manager leading the group you would like to attend. They will provide you with the information needed to participate.
We recognize that these challenging times can impact our grief and hope you will consider attending.
