Youths for Hospice and Palliative Doctor Giulia Perri Visit Emily’s House Children’s Hospice

Thank you to palliative care doctor Dr. Giulia Perri, Lucas, Gregory, and the entire Youths for Hospice team for visiting Emily’s House children’s hospice.  It is especially exciting when people this young engage and advocate for hospice care.

In addition to a donation from their ongoing fundraising and volunteer service efforts, they donated a picture book — authored by two of them — for our Emily’s House client family library: “Someone I Love is Dying in Hospice, What Should I Expect?” by Lucas and Gregory Perri, published by Friesen Press.

Dr. Perri wrote: “Thank you so much for meeting with members of Youths for Hospice and myself. They were so impressed and humbled by the experience. Keep up this amazing work!!”

We are grateful for this glimpse at the next generation of palliative care.
