West Orange, NJ -- A group of dedicated volunteer women, known as The Friends of Hospice, celebrated their 28th Anniversary Fall Event to benefit Barnabas Health Hospice and Palliative Care Center (BHHPCC), on Thursday, November 3, at the Pleasantdale Chateau in West Orange. The luncheon featured boutique shopping, a silent auction and raffle drawings. During lunch guests were treated to a fashion show sponsored by M. Blaustein Furs and Luxury Outerwear, Short Hills, NJ.

“Since 1983, The Friends have organized luncheons, galas and golf outings that together have raised more than $2 million for BHHPCC,” said Ms. Sciara. “It is their dedication, especially during these challenging economic times, that contributes to BHHPCC fulfilling its mission to provide superior care to individuals and families facing advanced illness, regardless of their ability to pay.”
This year marks the 30th anniversary of the nationally-renowned Barnabas Health Hospice and Palliative Care Center. Since its inception in 1981, its staff of trained professionals has provided comprehensive physical, emotional and spiritual care to more than 30,000 patients with advanced illness and their families. The program, which serves infants, children, adults and the elderly, honors the unique choices and values of patients and their families while offering full access to the broad array of services provided by the Barnabas Health.
