In response to the questions we are frequently asked, Circle of Caring at Hospice of the Good Shepherd offers a Speakers’ Bureau for local organizations and groups.

Because there is often so much confusion surrounding death and dying, as well as grief and loss, and so few places to talk about these issues and feelings, our highly skilled staff is available to offer a forum for discussions on a wide variety of related topics.

If you would like more information about our Speakers’ Bureau, or would like to arrange a program, please call the Hospice office at : 617.969.6130
