Heart of Georgia Hospice The Heart of Georgia Hospice Difference

At Heart of Georgia Hospice, we are proud to be the only independent nonprofit hospice in the Middle Georgia area.

Heart of Georgia Hospice the only independent, non-profit, Faith-based ministry Hospice program in the Middle Georgia Area serving people of all faiths and beliefs since 1984. We offer comprehensive hospice services to support our patients, their families, and the community in meaningful and compassionate ways. My Story:
This unique program captures the life stories of our terminally-ill patients

on digital audio, as told in their own words. These recordings become cherished keepsakes, offering families the chance to forever hear their loved one’s voice and personal reflections. Casserole Ministry:
We provide meals to patients and families in need of extra support, especially for those without a church or community network. This is just one of the many ways we care for the whole person, mind, body, and spirit. Camp WINGS:
Each year, we host Camp WINGS, a free bereavement camp for children ages 6-17 who have lost a loved one. This special camp offers a safe space for healing, growth, and connection with peers who share similar experiences. Annual Memorial Service:
In December, we hold a touching Memorial Service to remember and honor the loved ones of those who have been part of our journey. This is a time for families to gather, reflect, and celebrate the lives of those we’ve cared for. Thrift Store:
Our Thrift Store, located on Watson Blvd behind the old Chick-fil-A in Warner Robins, provides critical support to our mission. Every purchase helps ensure we can continue offering free services to our patients and their families. Your contributions make a difference, as we never send a bill to our patients. Serving 10 Counties:
We proudly serve Houston, Macon-Bibb, Bleckley, Crawford, Dooly, Macon, Peach, Pulaski, Taylor, and Twiggs counties, providing compassionate, high-quality care where it’s needed most. We’re here to serve our community with heart, offering the highest standard of hospice care as we continue to make every moment matter for our patients and their families.

Today is National Grief Awareness Day, a day to acknowledge a truth we do not talk about often enough: grief touches all of us, and it deserves compassion. 💜

Grief does not follow a schedule or a set of rules. It can arrive in waves, show up unexpectedly, and linger far longer than the world around us seems to expect. It is not a problem to be solved or something to simply move past. Grief is the price of love, and learning to carry it is one of the hardest things a person can do. What helps most is knowing you are not alone.

At Heart of Georgia Hospice, supporting the grieving is central to who we are, and we offer that support to our whole community, not just the families we have served.

💜 Camp WINGS, our free annual grief retreat, has helped children in grades 1 through 8 process the loss of a loved one since 2001. In a safe and nurturing environment, these kids get to laugh, create, remember, and begin to heal alongside others who understand.

💜 Wings of Hope, our monthly bereavement support group offered in partnership with McCullough Funeral Home, is open to anyone who has experienced loss or is enduring grief. It meets once a month at the McCullough Funeral Home Farmhouse in Warner Robins.

We also offer free counseling to members of our community walking through difficult seasons. Whatever your loss and wherever you are in your journey, there is a place for you here.

If you or someone you love is grieving, please reach out. You do not have to walk this road alone.

💜 Grief is just love with nowhere to go. Let us help you carry it.

Registration for Camp WINGS 2026 is open, and spots are filling. 💜

Camp WINGS is a free weekend camp for children in 1st through 8th grade who have lost someone they love. Campers spend the weekend doing the things kids should get to do, and they do it alongside other kids who understand exactly what they are carrying. Our bereavement professionals and trained volunteers are with them every step of the way.

There is no cost to families. Your loved one does not have to have been a hospice patient, and children from anywhere may attend.

Meet the Camp WINGS Team Leaders: Gene Saunders

Gene serves as Chaplain and Family Support Services Manager at Heart of Georgia Hospice, and he has walked alongside grieving families here for 16 years. At Camp WINGS, he leads the Red Team, our campers in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade.

Grief is a big thing to explain to a nine-year-old. Gene meets them where they are, using characters from the movie "Inside Out" to help kids identify what they're feeling. Sadness isn't something to hide. Anger isn't something to be ashamed of. Joy can sit right next to missing someone. Once a child has words for a feeling, that feeling gets a little easier to carry.

That's what Camp WINGS is built on: kids learning they aren't the only ones, and that what they feel is normal.

Camp WINGS 2026 is November 6-8, 2026. Camp is free, and any child who has experienced the death of a loved one is welcome to attend, no matter where they live.

Happy National Secondhand Wardrobe Day! 💜 Today we celebrate the joy of secondhand style, and there is no better place to find it than the Heart of Georgia Hospice Thrift Store.

There’s something special about a secondhand find. The perfect jacket for a few dollars, a like-new pair of shoes, that one-of-a-kind piece nobody else will have. Shopping secondhand is easier on your wallet, kinder to the planet, and full of the thrill of the hunt. And when you shop with us, every purchase does even more good. The funds raised at our thrift store go right back into supporting hospice care and programs for families across Middle Georgia.

So today we want to see your treasures! 👗 Drop a photo of your favorite Heart of Georgia Hospice Thrift Store find in the comments. Whether it is a vintage gem, a designer steal, or something you simply couldn’t pass up, show it off and inspire the rest of us. Let's celebrate great finds and the great cause behind them.

Not found your treasure yet? Come see us at 1851 Watson Boulevard, open Monday through Friday from 10 to 6 and Saturday from 9 to 4. Your next favorite piece may be waiting on the rack.

A few days on Jekyll Island, and we came home with a lot to work with. 💜

Executive Director Jennifer Elliott and Clinical Manager Saleha Formosa represented Heart of Georgia Hospice at the 2026 GHPCO LEAP Summit (Leadership, Empowerment, and Advancement Program) at the Jekyll Island Club Resort, joining hospice and palliative care professionals from across the state.

Two days of learning from people who do this work every day, trading ideas about what's actually working, and thinking hard about how to keep serving families well in a field that keeps changing. The best part is always the conversations between sessions. Hospice is a small world in Georgia, and it's a good one to be part of.

Thank you to GHPCO for putting it together. Now back to Middle Georgia, where the work is. 💜

Parents ask us what the weekend is actually like. Here is the honest answer.

Friday: Campers check in at 5:00, visit the nurse, and get settled. Supper, then an icebreaker game and the first small group session. That first night is when kids start talking about their person, gently and with a trained facilitator. Ice cream social before lights out.

Saturday: The full day, and it moves. Campers are split into teams that rotate all day between camp activities and grief work. There are outdoor games, camp activities, rides, a carnival, and shaved ice in the afternoon. In between, campers have small group sessions and time in the Memory Room and Artful Remembrance, where they make something in honor of the person they lost. The day ends with supper, one more small group session, and a campfire.

Sunday: Dorm cleanup, breakfast, a final small group session, and a Celebration Service. Then everyone gathers outside for a balloon release before dismissal around midday.

What surprises most parents is how much of the weekend is just camp. The grief work is real and it matters. But so does the chance to run around, laugh, and be a kid for a weekend, surrounded by others who understand without needing an explanation.

Camp WINGS 2026 runs November 6 through 8 at Camp John Hope in Fort Valley. Free and open to any child in grades 1 through 8 who has experienced a death. Limited spots remain.

Camp WINGS 2026 is open for registration, and your child is welcome.

Camp WINGS is a free weekend grief camp for children in grades 1 through 8 who have experienced the death of someone they love. Camp takes place November 6 through 8 at Camp John Hope in Fort Valley.

There is no cost to your family, and your child does not need any prior connection to Heart of Georgia Hospice to attend. Any grieving child is welcome, no matter where you live or how long ago your loss happened.

Campers spend the weekend doing what kids do at camp: games, outdoor time, and campfire nights. Woven through it all are age appropriate activities that give them room to talk about their person, remember them out loud, and meet other kids who understand. Every camper is supported by trained volunteers and counselors.

Since 2001, Camp WINGS has given children a safe place to grieve and to just be kids again for a weekend.

We have a limited number of spots left. Register now at https://tinyurl.com/campwingsreg or call (478) 953-5161 with any questions. We are glad to walk you through it.

Happy National Senior Citizens Day! 💜 Today we honor the older adults who have given so much to all of us.

Our seniors are the keepers of our stories. They lived through history, worked hard to build better lives for their children, and passed down the wisdom, faith, and traditions that shape who we are. Every wrinkle tells a story, and every one of them deserves to be seen, valued, and cared for.

At Heart of Georgia Hospice, caring for seniors is at the very heart of what we do. So many of the patients and families we serve are older adults who spent their lives caring for others, and now it is our privilege to care for them. We are committed to meeting them with dignity, comfort, and compassion, honoring the full lives they have lived.

Today is also a wonderful reminder to reach out to the seniors in your own life. Call your parents or grandparents, visit an elderly neighbor, or simply take a moment to listen to their stories. A little time and attention can mean the world to someone who has given so much.

💜 A lifetime of wisdom deserves a lifetime of respect.
