Walk for Hospice

The Aroostook Hospice Foundation held its 2nd Annual Walk for Hospice on Saturday, September 14th, at the Nordic Heritage Center, raising over $60,000 for the Aroostook House of Comfort! The mission of this exciting new event was to raise funds for the Aroostook House of Comfort, promote community awareness, and celebrate the lives of those impacted by hospice. The 2nd Annual Walk for Hospice proudly featured McCrum Family Holdings, LLC as the Event Sponsor, with the Family of Dr. David Jones as the Memorial Dedication Sponsor. The event was also supported by 15 Trail Sponsors, 12 Community Sponsors, 22 Friend Sponsors, and 11 In-Kind Sponsors. A total of 32 teams and 336 participants registered for the walk. It was a beautiful day to walk and reflect with family members, friends, and colleagues.

Walk for Hospice Dedication

A truly great doctor is hard to find, difficult to part with, and impossible to forget.

“We can't think of a better way to honor Dr. David Jones than to dedicate the Annual Hospice Walk in his memory. He provided dedicated, compassionate care to hospice patients in the county from 2005 until his death in October 2023 as the Hospice Medical Director. He provided medical care for hospice patients at home for several years and then at the Aroostook House of Comfort once it was built. He supported the hospice house wholeheartedly, believing it would make a huge difference in the comfort and care of our loved ones at the end of their lives when they are most vulnerable. He was and remains well respected for his numerous contributions to health care, both by the local communities and statewide. He loved all aspects of nature and participated in last year's Walk for Hospice. This year, we walk in his memory to honor his contributions to medicine and his legacy by supporting the Aroostook House of Comfort.” - Debbie Jones
