Together
/ təˈɡeT͟Hər / noun

the harmony that plays when lives converge

Tidewell brings people together from all walks of life.
Each one has their own unique story,
but they’re all here for the same reason. Because they care.

Care Redefined was a special campaign during Tidewell Hospice’s 40th Anniversary Year to highlight all the different people who make Tidewell's impact possible. From donors to colleagues to volunteers, each different form of generosity coalesces into a community of caring.
