Building for Compassion

When the Board of Directors made the decision to purchase the building at 1670 John F. Kennedy Road, they knew it was a promising investment in the organization’s future. In addition to increasing the current space to accommodate additional staff and programming, the new facility will allow for greater overhead cost management by eliminating rent and maximizing  energy-efficiencies. A community education center will be constructed adjacent to the existing structure to allow for on-site volunteer and staff education activities and enhancement of bereavement programming. Additional parking will also be developed on the site. The new Hospice of Dubuque home will offer over 10,000 additional square feet of space over the current Asbury Square location. The Building for Compassion campaign, with a goal of $2.35 million, will establish a permanent home for Hospice of Dubuque and ensure the continuation of the organization’s quality services in  our tri-state community.

When Iowa City had no more hope for Dave, all he wanted to do was go home to be with his boys and die. I never hesitated to make that wish come true. He was told he had only one to two weeks to live, but through the grace of God, the prayers of many and the wonderful care and support of Hospice of Dubuque, we were blessed with twelve weeks. Because of Hospice, I was given the confidence to care for Dave and he was given the courage and dignity to accept what was happening to him and make the most of our time together.
