Faith Presbyterian Hospice loves seeing patients and families enjoying their time on the T Boone Pickens Hospice Center (TBPHC) campus They often witness those they serve experiencing joy even in the most difficult times of life

One example of finding joy despite circumstances is the family of one of our patients taking a moment to enjoy the lake just outside the inpatient unit. This group even caught some fish while they enjoyed the afternoon! In fact, it's not uncommon to see loved ones, as well as the general public, casting a line in the TBPHC waters.
