After fighting fiercely, Terri’s cancer progressed quickly. The Coles made the decision to return home under Wellstar Hospice Care – something that meant so much to Terri and her family. Hospice allowed her to focus on dignity, peace and quality of life in the place where she was most comfortable. “What’s better to give to than a hospital? Let’s find the people who need it the most.
