Buchanan remarked, “In this milestone year, we celebrate 15 years of accompanying over 3,300 individuals through one of life’s most challenging moments with dignity, compassion, and humanity. Our Open House Week is an opportunity for the community to discover our facilities, meet our team, and understand the tangible impact of our work.” She added that the initiative also aims to strengthen relationships with both public and private healthcare sectors, fostering a collaborative approach to patient care.
