"As Medical Director at Huron Shores Hospice I have the privilege  of seeing the incredible impact of our community fundraising up close. This year’s theme for our End of Year campaign, “The Ripple of One: Creating Waves of Compassion,”   is particularly appropriate and prompts me to share some observations from my unique vantage point.  In my line of work I regularly have conversations outlining the various options for palliative care.
