Book Babes Brighten the Spirits of Hospice of Palm Beach County Families

In a heartfelt gesture, the “Book Babes” book club brought in dozens of cookies to the Hospice of Palm Beach County Gerstenberg inpatient unit on December 15, 2009 to brighten the day of patients in the unit and their families.

“This was such a genuine, caring gesture,” said Faustino Gonzalez, a Physician with Hospice of Palm Beach County. “These women understand the difficult time our patients are facing and the challenge it is for families during the holiday season. This small gesture means more to the families and patients than any one can imagine.”
