Meet Heather Ryan: Gilchrist Center Howard County Volunteer, Spreading Joy One Batch of Chocolate Chip Cookies at a Time “I am interested in a job in the healthcare field and Gilchrist felt like a great way to learn while also supporting those with end-of-life illnesses. It’s given me a lot of joy to see the light in their eyes while I go around and visit with patients. I sit with them and read to them – and sometimes get to make cookies!” -Heather To learn more about all our volunteer opportunities, visit https://lnkd.in/gqzC799u

Today, we pause to reflect and remember the courage, strength, and sacrifices made on this day in 2001. Patriot Day is a time to honor the memory of those we lost and the brave first responders who risked everything to protect and save others. At Gilchrist, we’re reminded of the incredible resilience of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable challenges. We stand with our community in gratitude for all those who have served and continue to serve our country and one another. Let us come together in unity, love, and remembrance. #PatriotDay #NeverForget #GilchristCares

Embracing Love in Final Days: The Story of John and Maud Halliday In their final days together, John and Maud Halliday experienced the profound transition from caregiver to life wife once again, thanks to the compassionate care at Gilchrist. As John’s journey with dementia and heart issues progressed, he was lovingly cared for at Gilchrist Center Towson. Here, Maud was able to step back from her caregiving role and cherish being John’s wife again. "I got to be his wife for the last few days, which was a gift," Maud reflects. Following John’s passing, the Halliday family found comfort in Gilchrist’s community programs, even creating memory bears from John's clothing and participating in remembrance events. Maud's crafting of butterfly magnets and blankets for veteran patients exemplifies their ongoing engagement and gratitude towards Gilchrist. At Gilchrist, we help families focus on love and connection, easing the transition through life’s final chapter. 🦋 To read the full blog, visit: https://bit.ly/46IMmrX #GilchristCares #EndOfLifeCare #FamilySupport #MemoryBears #StepsOfHope
