HOSPICE HOUSE, FOUNDED IN 2004 AS THE FIRST FREESTANDING INPATIENT HOSPICE IN
NEW YORK STATE


2024 NEWS & EVENTS

The Gift of Hospice 

Learn More >

In honor of Hospice Awareness Month, we share personal experiences of how
hospice helped families see how much can be shared at the end of life and with
the peace of knowing that everything possible was done towards achieving a
peaceful death for their loved one.

“My childhood friend Jeff was in his 40s, with a wife and two small children
when he spent his final days at Hospice House surrounded by family and friends.
From the full use of the House’s kitchen, living room, and patio to sharing a
stereo so Jeff and Jodi could slow dance, Hospice House opened their doors and
was supportive in every way. Aware that Jeff was in the final stages before
passing, his primary nurse chose to sleep in her car outside Hospice House that
night. When he passed away, she was there within minutes to console his family.”

Helen Strobl Memorial Scholarship Awarded to Maddie Gallagher

Learn More >

VNSHS is proud to present Maddie Gallagher with the Helen Strobl Memorial
Scholarship. Annually VNSHS awards this scholarship to a Northport High School
senior who has demonstrated academic achievement and is pursuing a career in the
field of nursing. This scholarship is in honor of the first VNSHS Executive
Director, who was a Baccalaureate and Masters nursing graduate and proponent of
higher education for nurses.

When Maddie was in middle school, her father was diagnosed with cancer which
eventually claimed his life. It was at Hospice House where she spent her final
days with her father. The comfort and care that VNSHS home hospice and Hospice
House nurses and staff provided inspired Maddie to pursue a career in nursing.

Her father passed away on September 8, 2020, just as Maddie was entering high
school. The Hospice House staff continued to call and provide support to the
Gallagher family.

To show their support of VNSHS, the Gallagher’s formed a team to support the
VNSHS 5K held every May. When Maddie became a high school senior, she learned of
and applied for the Helen Strobl Scholarship. Upon being awarded the
scholarship, Maddie who will be attending Fairfield University shared “For VNSHS
to choose me after I have been looking up to them for so long, clearly they saw
something in me that I saw in them years ago.”
