Emmanuel Hospice Emmanuel Hospice aspires to create a peaceful experience for the dying and their loved ones by providing exemplary spiritual and physical care. St.

Emmanuel Hospice is an interfaith collaboration of four like-minded organizations with over 200 years of combined experience. Ann’s, Clark, Porter Hills and Sunset have joined together to deliver the highest level of holistic care to the dying and their loved ones in the West Michigan community. The foundation of our partnership is rooted in common missions and values, and this has enabled us to share resources, skills and expertise to better serve those in our community with a life-limiting illness or condition. We are united in our aspiration to create a peaceful experience in any setting for the dying and their loved ones by providing exemplary spiritual and physical care. The Emmanuel Hospice team of professionals is committed to excellence in providing you or your loved one with dignified end-of-life comfort care. We customize our care to best meet your needs by bringing our services to the place you consider home; whether it’s your home of many years, a skilled nursing residence, assisted living facility or hospital. The setting may differ, but our caregiving always remains the same.

Sometimes, the most meaningful care begins simply by being present.

As we recognize Spiritual Care Week, we're grateful for the compassionate and understanding presence our Spiritual Caregivers provide to patients and families navigating illness, loss and the end of life.

Spiritual Care isn't about having all the answers. It's about listening closely, honoring each person's beliefs and values, and creating space for comfort, meaning, reflection and connection.

This week, we celebrate our spiritual care team and the quiet, meaningful ways they walk alongside the patients and families we serve. 💙 Thank you for all you do.

Sometimes, the most meaningful wishes are the ones that bring us back to the places we love. 💜

For many years, Red Rock Grill in Kent City was a favorite spot for Gene Frantz and his wife, Joyce. As getting out has become more difficult, returning for a meal together wasn’t quite as simple as it once was.

Through Emmanuel Hospice’s patient wish program, Gene and Joyce were able to make a special trip back to Red Rock, joined by a few loved ones and a few of Gene’s Emmanuel Hospice caregivers, Jamie and Shannon.

The restaurant made the day even sweeter by surprising Gene and Joyce with a cake celebrating their 56th wedding anniversary and generously covering everyone’s meal. A special thank you to Brittany and the team at Red Rock for making them feel so welcomed and cared for.

Transportation for Gene and Joyce was provided by Reliable Medical Transportation, with the cost made possible through Bloom Credit Union's generous support of our patient wish program.

A favorite restaurant. Family and friends around the table. And 56 years of love worth celebrating. 💜

Good things are happening at Emmanuel Hospice. We're hiring!

As more patients and families choose Emmanuel Hospice for their care, we're expanding our clinical team and creating a fourth care team to help meet the growing need in our community.

That means we're looking for a Registered Nurse (RN) to join us as our next Clinical Team Coordinator.

This role is perfect for an experienced RN who enjoys bringing people together, helping teams do their best work, solving problems, and supporting exceptional patient care. You'll work alongside compassionate professionals who are committed to making every moment matter for the patients and families we serve.

If you're ready to help shape and support a growing team while making a meaningful impact every day, we'd love to hear from you.

A few weeks ago, Emmanuel Hospice hosted an uplifting luncheon here in Grand Rapids, one of the many communities we serve patients and their families in. At that event, we announced a matching gift challenge, and invited our supporters to participate.

Yesterday, we were able to share that together, you gave $30,759 in new gifts, surpassing our $30,000 challenge goal and unlocking the full matching gift from Donna Hinton and Bloom Credit Union. In total, $60,759 will help provide compassionate care, comfort, and support for Emmanuel Hospice patients and families.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who gave, shared our message, and helped spread the word. Your generosity ensures that patients and families facing one of life's most difficult journeys receive expert care, emotional support, grief services, and meaningful moments of comfort.

Thank you.

Yesterday, our community showed up in a big way for Emmanuel Hospice.

Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, donors, and attendees, we've raised $128,664 through our Annual Celebration luncheon, with more gifts still coming in.

We were also surprised by an incredible announcement: longtime supporter Donna Hinton committed to matching gifts through September 30, up to $20,000. During the luncheon, Bloom Credit Union added another $10,000 to the challenge, bringing the total match to $30,000.

That means every gift made now through September 30 will be tripled until the full match is unlocked.

Together, we're ensuring that patients and families receive compassionate care, meaningful support, and the donor-funded services that make Emmanuel Hospice so special.

Help us unlock the full $30,000 match before September 30. Make your gift today at: https://emmanuelhospice.networkforgood.com/projects/296168-annual-celebration-giving-page-2026
