A.R.N. Hospice Added to Hooverwood Living Continuum of Care An Interview with Evan Lubline, Chief Executive Officer of Hooverwood Living by Michelle Bridges of Senior Options, L.L.C., in Virginia Beach, Va. Michelle: What does bringing on hospice into your service offerings mean to you and your organization? Evan: Hooverwood Living has strategi- cally brought hospice to our service offerings. We have partnered with Aaron Rubin Nelson (A.R.N.) to develop the first Jewish hospice in the Indianapolis area to offer critical end-of-life care to both Jewish and non-Jewish individuals.

We collaborate with the individual, their family, and our compre- hensive hospice team to achieve the best outcomes. Michelle: How does this fit in with your mission?
