Hospice patients and families have many needs. Air conditioners, medical equipment, linens, etc. are needed from time to time. As well a "Wish list" is kept in the Development office and includes a changing list of items based on the needs of patients at the Gordon Hospice House. Rather than purchase an item you feel Hospice could use, we ask that you call to determine how best to make an in-kind gift. Call the Director for Development at 704-873-4719 ext. 4312
