In this episode, host and President Steph Cain sits down with longtime board members Tom Dowd and Dr. Dave Thompson to look back on the original 2003 capital campaign that made our Hospice Center a reality. Together, they share heartfelt stories from those early days—how the Columbus community rallied around a vision for compassionate end-of-life care, how donors and partners stepped forward, and what it felt like to see the Center open its doors for the first time.

Tom and Dr. Dave also reflect on the years since: the growth of Our Hospice, the families served within these walls, and the lasting impact of those who helped build the Center more than 20 years ago. As Steph introduces the new Hospice Center Refresh Campaign, the conversation naturally shifts toward the future—why the refresh is needed, how it honors our original donors, and how it will help us continue delivering what matters most to patients and families for decades to come.

It’s a thoughtful blend of history, gratitude, and a shared vision for the next chapter of our mission.
