The Monarch Celebrates 13 Years

On June 3rd The Monarch celebrated 13th years! Eastmont opened The Monarch with the goal of enhancing the quality of hospice care to terminally ill people in our community. Many people come to The Monarch after long illnesses and are unable to pay for their care. People like “Adam”.

“I wish you could’ve watched ‘Adam’ walk into the Monarch and collapse into the bed. His facial deformity is severe; he’s so weak and can barely whisper to talk. He had one tear from his tiny opening of his eye when he said ‘Thank you.’ I told him I would definitely tell you THANK YOU. He has been in a hole of an apartment in Beatrice, vomiting almost all day every day, maybe weighs 100lbs and sleeping with his door unlocked so someone could get in to help him if he needed it or if to find him. It is pathetic. His mom had instant relief when she saw him cuddled up in bed. He was comfortable and safe. THANK YOU sounds so simple but what you said yes to is profound.”

The Monarch has served more than 1,000 people and provided more than $1 million in charity care. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we can say YES to people like “Adam”. To learn more about The Monarch, contact Melinda at (402) 486-2432.
