Working with hospice patients is more than a job for nurse Diane McBroom – it’s a calling. And working in Evelyn’s House is a “blessing.” 

Ellen Carroll was wearing her pink nightgown when she left Evelyn’s House, just like her granddaughter had promised. It was a simple thing that made Carroll’s death a little more bearable for the family that adored her. 

BJC HealthCare celebrated the opening of Evelyn’s House with a ribbon cutting June 16, 2017. The new hospice house in Creve Coeur, Missouri, offers compassionate end-of-life care for adult and children hospice patients and their families.

Throughout her battle with cancer, seven-year-old Janet Pruneau reminded her friends and family to always “remember the love.” On the one-year anniversary of Janet’s passing, the Friends of Wings created something special to honor her, and bring a smile to the faces of her mom, dad and brothers.

Party Patrol volunteers plan memorable days for Wings families as part of the Friends of Wings “Joyful Celebrations” program. They arranged a Six Flags trip that a Wings patient and her  family would remember forever.
