Our physician spouses will shortly receive a letter asking for donations
to Hospice at Greensboro.  The Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital approached
Hospice at Greensboro with a proposal to enable Hospice to meet Medicare
certification requirements.  One of the provisions of the Cone proposal is
that the hospital will match dollar for dollar all assets held by Hospice
at Greensboro.  A further feature of the Cone proposal is that Hospice at
Greensboro will remain an independent organization with a large component of
volunteers.  Care provided by the volunteers has been outstanding and many
families in our community benefit daily from this invaluable service.
Hospice is in urgent need of your help.  Your contribution will make a
difference. .   .
