Bill Wade’s Story
William “Bill” Wade Jr., a Senior Pastor at Living Hope Baptist church in Bowling Green, Kentucky, lived a full life of faithful service. Bill was dedicated to the celebration of all of life’s journey, including his final earthly chapter. We at HSK were honored to be by his side and with his loved ones as he was able to live his life to the fullest through hospice care.
Bill gave each of us hope through his words and through the way he chose to live. The HSK’s mission is to “honor life through excellent service and compassionate care.” It is our privilege to share this celebration of Bill’s life and the hope he instilled is us.

Hospice Care at the Hospice House
One of the most basic obstacles for end of life care is determining where your unique needs will best be met. Hospice of Southern Kentucky’s hospice house is an inpatient unit that replicates the comfort of home while providing symptom management and quality care.

Camp Erin, partnered with Hospice of Southern Kentucky, is a nurturing overnight bereavement camp designed especially for children and teens ages 6-17 who are mourning the death of someone close to them.
