Since early 2013, a colorful vehicle painted with butterflies has brought free supportive therapy to individuals, families and communities throughout the St. Louis area. Called Wings on Wheels (WOW), this mobile program is offered by Wings, the BJC pediatric hospice and palliative care program. 

People live very different lives, with different family dynamics, jobs, interests and pastimes. There is one thing all lives have in common, though — they all, eventually, end. BJC Hospice’s mission is to help patients, no matter how different their circumstances, live their final days as fully and as comfortably as possible and support each family, not only through the end of their loved one’s life, but also through the grieving process.

Peggy White- Davis and the Friends of Wings were honored with the 2018 Missouri Hospice and Palliative Care Association (MHPCA) Heart of Hospice volunteer award and program award. 

Four tall, bright and colorful birdhouses are spaced evenly across the backyard of Evelyn’s House for residents and their families to enjoy watching birds from the patio of their guest suite.
