The staff at Hospice of Chattanooga is inviting its families in North Georgia to join them on Tuesday, July 10 at 5:30 p.m. for a memorial service. The candlelight service will celebrate the lives of nearly 100 North Georgia Hospice of Chattanooga patients who died over the past six months.

The service will be held at First Baptist Church in Fort Oglethorpe, 2645 LaFayette Road. The program will include music, the reading of the names of the hospice patients and a reception. Families will also have the opportunity to reflect on the lives of their loved ones and visit with hospice staff.

Hospice of Chattanooga serves over 2200 patients a year. The hospice program is the only United Way funded program in the region, serving 18-counties with satellite offices in Dayton, Jasper, Cleveland and North Chattanooga. The agency recently moved its office in LaFayette to 1217 LaFayette Road in Rossville. Hospice officials say the new location is more centrally located to its patients.

Hospice of Chattanooga delivers “a special kind of caring” to patients and families during the patient’s advanced state of a terminal illness. While attending to the symptom management needs of the patient, Hospice of Chattanooga nurtures patients and their families through the medical, social services, nursing and spiritual issues of all involved.
