Huron Shores Hospice Internship

The objective of the project would be to develop a Strategic Plan that incorporates all facets of HSH’s services. Beyond end-of-life care, HSH is committed to changing the conversation around death and dying through programming which includes hosting Death Cafes and facilitating educational workshops on end-of-life planning. They also offer end-of-life Doula services, and public Grief Recovery Method sessions to assist the bereaved as they recover from their grief. All of these services are provided at no cost to the resident or their families. The Strategic Plan would need to consider new and innovative approaches to funding these services, as well as look at potential growth opportunities for new programs, in response to evolving community needs. The Strategic Plan would help guide HSH’s activities over the next few years, but allow it the flexibility to respond to an ever changing social and economic environment. HSH is a relatively young organization and a well thought out and researched (first) Strategic Plan would give them a solid foundation on which to build as they monitor and adjust their performance going forward. It also has the potential to improve the sustainability of HSH’s funding model.
