Honoring a legacy of compassion: the Hanan Budeiri Legacy General Fund
After 23 years of dedicated service to Hospice Care Plus, Dr. Hanan Budeiri is retiring from her role as chief medical director.
In 2000, after being introduced to hospice care through one of her patients, she joined the Hospice Care Plus staff as a volunteer medical director. It was that first experience with Hospice that inspired Dr. Budeiri to devote 23 years to the organization.
“I always had an affinity toward being present with my patients, and I always wanted to know them," says Dr. Budeiri. "What hospice allows is more in depth. You become part of a time that is so intimate. They share memories, their life stories. I have a treasure chest of stories, and I remember them. Hospice and the patients and families have become part of who I am, how I look at life.”
As a thank you for her years of dedication to Hospice Care Plus, a permanent fund has been renamed to honor Dr. Budeiri’s legacy. The Hanan Budeiri Legacy General Fund is a general donation fund that allows Hospice to place donations where they are most needed to fulfill the mission.
“Even as we are profoundly happy for Dr. Budeiri and this new phase of life she is about to enter, we also acknowledge that the unique way she cared for patients and families, and the leadership she gave to our staff, will be deeply missed," says Lisa Cox, Hospice Care Plus CEO. "The 23 years she devoted to our organization made us better, and we will honor that legacy by continuing our commitment to patient-centered, mission-based, compassionate, expert care. We could not think of a better way to honor her legacy to keep our focus always on the heart of our mission: meeting the needs of our patients and families. Our general fund allows us to do that and it is our privilege to name it after her.”
Today, we invite you to be a part of her legacy by donating to the Hanan Budeiri Legacy General Fund. Each month, we will provide Dr. Budeiri with a list of donors who have given to the fund in her honor.
