The Power of Presence Part 1: Bringing Comfort Through Compassion with Gretchen Newell
In Part 1 of this two-part episode of Better Together, Our Hospice President Steph Cain sits down with Gretchen Newell of St. Peter’s Lutheran Church to discuss the power of presence and the difference a simple visit can make in someone’s life.
Through her involvement in the church’s care outreach ministry, Gretchen spends time visiting individuals in care facilities and those receiving hospice care, offering companionship, encouragement, and a listening ear.
Together, Steph and Gretchen explore the importance of human connection, the meaningful relationships formed through volunteer outreach, and how small acts of kindness can bring comfort to individuals and families during some of life’s most challenging moments.
Join us for the first part of this heartfelt conversation about compassion, community, and the lasting impact of simply being there for others. Be sure to tune in for Part 2 as the conversation continues!
Better Together is presented by Our Hospice of South Central Indiana, celebrating the people, partnerships, and stories that make our communities stronger.
