Love & Hugs for Zusman Hospice

We are so proud of all that the Love & Hugs program has accomplished over the last 13 years! And we are even more honored that the agency that has housed this program, taking care of patients and families with the most compassionate care, has adopted the Love & Hugs name - not only in everything they do, but in their agency name as well! Please follow Zusman Hospice Love & Hugs - (formerly known as Zusman Hospice House) - to continue to see and support all that they do for our community. We look forward to seeing how this program continues to grow!

Ever wonder how our Love & Hugs teddy bear program for Zusman Hospice got it's start? Sweet Emily Cammeyer started it as her Bat Mitzvah project almost 10 years ago. Now an Ohio Wesleyan college junior, the program is still going strong, touching thousands of patients and families. Read more about Emily and her Love & Hugs for Zusman Hospice story on page 16-17 in her sorority's national magazine, The Trident. https://www.tridelta.org/trident/

Today we took time to remember our GG Joan who passed away exactly 10 years ago. In her memory, we made four new “Joan Jeter” bears to donate to at Zusman Hospice. We hope these bears bring comfort and love to other Yankee and baseball fans just like our GG Joan. We miss you GG Joan and will always have you in our hearts ❤️❤️.
