"Circle of Hope" Bereavement Support Groups

Amedisys Hospice offers a free bereavement support group that is open to the community. We focus on supporting those who have lost a loved one by providing information on grief and bereavement in a caring, safe environment. "Circle of Hope" meets on the second Tuesday of each month at the Amedisys Hospice office in the Warwood Plaza (next to the Kroger, 1251 Warwood Avenue, Wheeling, WV). The group offers a daytime meeting at 2 pm and an evening meeting at 6 pm. Light refreshments are served. Contact MSW/Bereavement Coordinator Rose Mathes at 304-217-3300 for more information.

We invite you to a small, safe group where you can meet others who are journeying through grief. All are welcome to attend!

Daytime 2:00 p.m. and evening 6:00 p.m.

1251 Warwood Ave

For more info call Rose Mathes: 304-217-3300
