Finding Comfort Together
Navigating the loss of a loved one can often feel overwhelming and isolating. Hospice of Davidson County hosts year-round events supporting and recognizing caregivers, families, and individuals as they navigate the end-of-life journey. Our community engagement events provide an opportunity for fellowship, growth, and awareness for anyone navigating, supporting or processing a hospice journey.
Ongoing Events
In-Person Support Group
Held the 1st Wednesday of every month from 2-3pm, this free in-person support group offers a place to share and support one another. This group is open to any member of the community as well as the loved ones of patients under our care.

Caregiver Academy
Caregiving can be a challenging role – and most caregivers dive in to the new role with no training and little support. Held quarterly, Caregiver Academy covers different topics in a lunch and learn environment, encouraging you to be a confident, courageous and competent caregiver for your loved one. These free luncheons are taught by community experts and are open to anyone who provides care to a loved one.
Registration is required. To register, call 336-242-2290 or click here to email.
