The future of Genesis Hospice Care
Monday, July 21, 2025
Why does a new hospice facility matter?
“I was exhausted caring for my mother at home as she neared the end,” said Carolyn Quinn, daughter of a hospice patient. “Genesis picked her up and took her to the Morrison House. I slept for 10 hours a night for two nights, and then they brought her home, and I was rested and ready to care for her so she could pass where she wanted.”
This is one of countless stories told by hospice patients’ family members and loved ones. As the region’s only dedicated inpatient hospice facility, the Morrison House has provided much-needed support for thousands of families during their most difficult times.
After serving our community for over 35 years, the Morrison House has reached the very end of its useful life. With the help of the community, partners and the Genesis team, we are committed to continuing to provide hospice service both at home and in a new dedicated inpatient facility.
The J.W. & M.H. Straker Charitable Foundation was extremely generous in making a donation to name the new facility. The Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity also demonstrated their generosity by donating the land across the street from the current Morrison House for the new building’s location.
With your support, we will fulfill our promise to build a new facility and ensure our nonprofit, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Five-Star Rated Hospice facility continues to provide the vital care you’ve come to know and trust.
Your contribution will support private patient rooms and bathrooms with beautiful garden views and so much more.
