Hands of Hope Announces Partnership with the Emerson Rose Heart Foundation During American Heart Month
The Partnership Will Focus on Raising Support and Awareness for Families Impacted by Congenital Heart Defects
SPARTANBURG, S.C., February 16, 2023 – Hands of Hope, a leading pediatric palliative and concurrent hospice care provider in the Southeast, is partnering with the Emerson Rose Heart Foundation, an organization that raises support, awareness and funds for those affected by congenital heart defects (CHDs).
Hands of Hope will sponsor multiple events throughout 2023 with the Emerson Rose Heart Foundation, including charity baseball games, an event with Denver Downs Farm and a donor gala in December. They will also serve as a Heart Month Matching Sponsor in recognition of American Heart Month in February.
“We are thrilled to create this partnership. The Emerson Rose Heart Foundation’s mission deeply aligns with Hands of Hope’s goal of providing compassionate care to families whose children have been diagnosed with a CHD throughout South Carolina,” said Dr. Kara Huncik, Hands of Hope’s medical director. “This partnership will allow both of our organizations to make a big impact as we continue to support the CHD community.”
Hands of Hope is South Carolina’s only statewide palliative and hospice provider with a dedicated pediatric team. Through compassionate care, they provide physical, emotional and spiritual support to children facing life-limiting illnesses and their families. Their services are available to any child living in South Carolina.
The Emerson Rose Heart Foundation was named after the daughter of Jason and Susan Smith who was born with a complex CHD. The foundation focuses on changing the future of those affected by CHDs by providing support for families, advancing patient care and increasing awareness.
