A chaplain in the Air Force for 25 years, Dennis has also served as a local church pastor. He has many years of experience in hospice, most recently in the Wichita, Kansas area. In 2003, Dennis and his wife returned to the Springfield area to care for his parents and in-laws. Along with HPC Chaplain, Glyn Davies, Dennis leads the staff in prayer and praise before they start their day to care for HPC patients. Beginning each morning in this way, helps to keep the entire staff focused on what hospice care really is about. Our Chaplains are available 24 hours a day to offer pastoral visits to patients, family members, friends and HPC staff.
