Harmon and Hospice

Harmon experienced the value of hospice care himself. After two near-death experiences, he found his calling to support hospice care. He also saw the need for a special hospice and respite care home for children. He and Nita were involved in early efforts to create a children’s hospice in the 1990s, and he frequently made hospice and hospital visits. Harmon was passionate about the value of hospice care and would think that building this home was as important as any of his legendary baseball achievements.

“I have spent the past decade of my life promoting hospice care and educating people on its benefits. I am very comfortable taking this next step and experiencing the compassionate care that hospice provides.” – Harmon’s last public statement
