What if the last chapter of life could be as beautiful as the first?
In this deeply moving episode of The Business Building Blocks Podcast, host Kristina Schmitt sits down with Laura Sherwood, Director of Hospice Partnerships, and Brenda Fleming, Executive Director of Hospice of Elgin, to share the powerful story behind a hospice that’s redefining end-of-life care.
You’ll hear:
💜 Why Hospice of Elgin was the last to be built in its region—and how that turned into its greatest strength
🏡 How a “cottage” in the woods became a symbol of peace, nature, and dignity
🌿 What it means to lead with heart in the most human moments of healthcare
🔥 How values like “Moments Matter” and “In It Together” are not just written—but lived
Whether you’ve faced loss, work in care, or simply want to know how leadership, community, and compassion intersect—you won’t want to miss this one.
