Our #JHouse Family celebrated its Annual Memorial Service. We hold in our hearts the memories of those past but never forgotten in our community. "When I go from this place dress the parch with garlands as you would for a wedding day my dear pull the people from their homes and dance in the streets when death arrives like a bride at the aisle send me off in my brightest clothing serve ice cream with rose petals to our guests there's no reason to cry my dear I have waited my whole life for such a beauty to take my breath away when I go let it be a celebration for I have been here I have lived I have won at this game called life." 💚 #josephshousedc #dccommunity #neverforget #smallactsgreatlove #medicalrespite #hospicecare (fb)

At the 2025 "Building Communities" National @healthcarehomelesscouncil Conference & Policy Symposium. Our Executive Director, Kowshara Thomas, presented at the End of Life Care in a Medical Respite program panel. 💚 The annual conference is the country's largest gathering of practitioners of homeless health care, #medicalrespite care, advocates, people with lived experience of homelessness, and researchers on #homelessness. We enjoyed connecting with like-minded organizations, leaders, and advocates throughout the #unitedstates to learn from each other, discuss best practices, and share new innovations in the field. 🏠 #hch2025 #HealthEquity #healthiswealth #endhomelessness #homelesslivesmatter #homelessnessawareness #fightstigma #smallactsgreatlove #JHouse #josephshousedc (fb)
