COLUMBUS, Ind. — Our Hospice of South Central Indiana is establishing a fund to honor its retiring president Laura Leonard, who led the non-profit for nearly a decade. In lieu of traditional retirement gifts, contributions are being accepted to establish a fund in her name to support the Palliative Care Program launched by Our Hospice in 2019.
Palliative Care is a medical specialty that focuses on relieving the pain, symptoms, and stress of a serious illness. The service is currently reimbursed at only $0.17 per $1 expended, making philanthropy critical.
Gifts are encouraged through the end of the year and the total raised will be shared with Leonard as she retires at the end of this month. Donate via cash, credit card, or check which should be made payable to Our Hospice of South Central Indiana with “Laura Leonard Fund” written on the memo line. Online contributions are accepted here, or mail a donation to Our Hospice, Attn: Resource Development, 2626 East 17th Street, Columbus, Indiana 47201.
