Todd is a spiritual care coordinator for a hospice, who has often seen the need for this type of service when working with families.
“We formally organized in 2018 and have been working steadily to see the dream come true! Nothing happens unless you start with even baby steps towards it!”
Todd Regester
Board Treasurer
Michelle is a master’s level Social Worker. She completed her undergraduate degree at Central Michigan University and master’s degree at Eastern Michigan University. She became involved in hospice in 2015. After working with a hospice agency, she quickly realized the need for a hospice placement within our community. The need has motivated Michelle’s involvement in this grassroots movement to address this need, which has led to the beautiful creation of the non-profit Hospice Homes of Genesee & Lapeer Counties.
