The Leaves of Hope Bereavement program is made up of Women and Children's Services staff (WCS) who provide a compassionate approach to supporting patients and families who experience the loss of a pregnancy or infant. The team offers assistance with creating memories; such as taking photographs, making handprints/footprints, and providing memory boxes. By addressing both emotional and practical needs, this program helps families navigate their grief and begin the healing process. This program is funded by donations.

*WCS will be selling t-shirts starting September 1st through October in honor of pregnancy and infant loss. The shirts will be $25 each with three designs available. The Women's Center will also be selling t-shirts in the cafeteria for the first 2 weeks of October. All proceeds will go toward the bereavement program.
