five decades it has grown to offer
educational and enriching courses,
forums, special interest groups, day
trips, events, and more for adults 50

Bernard Osher, a respected businessman and community leader. The
Foundation seeks to improve quality
of life through support for higher
education and the arts.

“I wish we
had called
Hospice
sooner.”
“My Dad’s health was declining
and Mom struggled to care for
him. Then Mom asked about
Hospice. The Hospice team
came to our house and cared
for Dad and the whole family.”
“I urge everyone to call as early
as possible. Hospice is for the
last phase of life, not just the
last days.”
& Entertainment Series offers educational & entertaining presentations
each Thursday during the Fall and
Spring semesters.
