MIDDLETOWN, NY — On Saturday, April 20, Hospice of Orange & Sullivan Counties (HOSC) will host its annual gala, honoring Dr. Susan Jensen of Horizon Family Medical Group and Michael J. Gilfeather, president/CEO of Orange Bank & Trust  Company, for their commitment and dedication to Hospice and the community. The event take place on April 20 from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. at West Hills Country Club in Middletown. 

Every year, HOSC relies on the generosity of its communities to close a  $1.5 million gap between its expenses and what it is reimbursed for services. Proceeds from the event support the HOSC mission of providing quality end-of-life care to patients and their loved ones, by offsetting the cost of medical supplies, medical equipment, pharmaceutical services, bereavement  resources for grieving loved ones and the cost of the Thriving Families Grief Support Group for children.  

Hospice of Orange & Sullivan Counties would like to thank this year’s sponsors: Horizon Family Medical  Group, Orange Bank & Trust Company, Tom and Janet Sullivan, Dr. Robert Dinsmore, Lakeland Bank,  Summer Set Properties, LLC, A. Vincent Mazzie & Oppenheimer & Co., Inc., and Kiewit Companies  Foundation. Only through the community's generosity and its continued support can HOSC continue to provide its services. 

HOSC has provided compassionate end-of-life care to patients and  their families since 1981. The organization, incorporated in 1988, serves both counties and is certified by the NYS Department of Health and the Joint Commission. 

Its mission is to be the leading community resource for providing patients and their families with compassionate physical,  emotional and spiritual end-of-life care with comfort, dignity, and respect.
