Introducing Hospice House West
COVINGTON, LA - March 14, 2025 - The Hospice Foundation of the South is proud to announce the acquisition of land in western St. Tammany Parish for the construction of its second Hospice House facility- Hospice House West: “Connie’s Cottage” in memory of Connie Hulsey-Shephard. This milestone marks a significant expansion of compassionate end-of-life care services in the region.
The new facility will complement the Foundation's existing Hospice House in Slidell, addressing the growing need for specialized end of life care in St. Tammany Parish and surrounding communities. The expansion aims to ensure that more families have access to dignified, comfortable care for their loved ones during life's final journey.
"This land acquisition represents a crucial step forward in our mission to provide compassionate end-of-life care to all who need it," said Miranda Linday, Executive Director of Hospice Foundation of the South and the Hospice House. "Our current Hospice House has been a blessing to nearly 500 families, but the demand for this unique service continues to grow. This second location will allow us to extend our reach and support more families during their time of greatest need."
In conjunction with this announcement, the Foundation is launching a capital campaign to raise $500,000 to support the development of the new facility. The "Building Compassion, Building Hope" campaign will fund essential infrastructure and ensure the new Hospice House provides the same exceptional level of care that has become synonymous with the Hospice House in Slidell.
The campaign will feature various community engagement opportunities, including:
• Naming opportunities for donors
• Community fundraising events
• Corporate sponsorship opportunities
• Volunteer involvement initiatives
"We invite individuals, businesses, and organizations throughout St. Tammany Parish to join us in this important mission," said Cody dePascual, Board Chairman. "Every contribution, regardless of size, brings us closer to providing more families with the peace, dignity, and compassionate care they deserve during life's most challenging transition."
For more information about the capital campaign or to make a donation, please visit www.TheHospiceHouse.org or contact Miranda Lindsay- MirandaLindsay@TheHospiceHouse.org or (985) 643-5470.
